Reducing glibc with mklibs.sh

[Michael Habermann]

I tried to reduce the size of my self-compiled glibc 2.2.2, with the debian
script mklibs.sh, but it terminates with the following output:

---
++ echo :/usr/local/powerpc-linux/glibc-2.2.2

The program call was:
----
#!/bin/sh
GCC=powerpc-linux-gcc \
OBJDUMP=powerpc-linux-objdump \
OBJCOPY=powerpc-linux-objcopy \
./mklibs.sh --verbose -L /usr/local/powerpc-linux/glibc-2.2.2 \
--dest-dir /ppcroot/smalllib \
/ppcroot/bin/bash
---

By default, only the libc_pic.a file is created. How can I create the other
PICs?

If you know any other tools to do this task, please let me know. Seems that
LIPO (Lineo) and LOT(HardHat) are not free.
