I'm using currently uClibc 0.9.28.  glibc doesn't currently support the AVR32.  
It's during uclibc-initial-0.9.28's do_populate_staging() step that this 
whole sysroot issue pops up.  Something about that step causes something to 
get linked, and that's when you the problem occurs.  I recreated the problem 
today.  Should have saved the log.

Maybe uClibc 0.9.29 fixes this issue.  I need to move to it anyway.  Koen 
suggested it as a fix for my init segfault issue, plus I think avahi needs 
it, and I need avahi in my final product.

It looks like Atmel's AVR32 patches for uClibc 0.9.29 are already in 
OpenEmbedded.  Looks like I just need to create a uClibc.machine file for the 
AVR32.  I'll try out building against uClibc 0.9.29 on Monday.
