[ARMedslack] Slackware ARM on Small NAS (NS-K330)

[Davide]

I wanted to get all I can out of my dockstar if it works well I might even do that on my zauruses (C 760/860/1000).
The zauri should all be ARMv5 as husky boxer are PXA255 and Akita is PXA270.
While the dockstar I'm not sure but I think it's ARMv5 too.

It would be the first time I look into rebuilding glibc in order to get better performance and actually I don't recall ever doing it at all so if I did I just followed the build scripts to build it. Any help is appreciated for this task.

Regards
David
