Changing uclibc around is ok as its not something that has worked well
in with OE-Core for a while. What I'm trying to avoid is having to bump
all the versions of the sstate files, the sysroot layout and associated
version numbers which is what would have to happen if we change the
eglibc layout :(.

Obviously, if angstrom switches layout its pain for you though so I
suspect someone loses with this either way :/.

Makes sense and I see the need, I just want to ensure the tarballs we
have can be parallel installed.
