There is no procedure for this. The libc is part of toolchain, and mixing
different versions is not a good idea.
And at least with an OSELAS.Toolchain, rebuilding it isn't really a
problem. It's just a PTXdist project.

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.
