Thank you for your answer. Probably I did not explain my problem correctly.
Rebuilding the toolchain per se is not a problem; the problem is how to
deploy the patched library. The process of rebuilding the toolchain
basically installs the (fixed) toolchain in my development machine. This is
perfect for the regular development cycle, however in this case what I
really need is a way to deploy a hotfix with the patched library on the
target systems (that are already running). So I was looking for a way to
generate an ipkg/opkg or something that I can easily deploy.
