So, here's a problem we've run into now.  With distros that use
debian.bbclass, having an OVERRIDE of 'glibc' added causes the glibc
recipe to not create a 'glibc' package, nor a 'libc6' package.  The
libc6-dev package is created.  For eglibc, libc6 and libc6-dev are
created.  For the uclibc recipe uclibc and uclibc-dev packages are
still created.  DISTRO=angstrom-2008.1 LIBC={eglibc,glibc,uclibc} will
show this.
