migrate off uclibc

[claud9999]

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UClibc the uclibc library hasn't been updated since 2012. Folks on the 'nets' have suggested musl but there's also uclibc-ng.

Looks like there's a set of binaries for MIPS at https://musl.cc ...looking promising!

FYI I've been able to get all of the modules to build...but v4l2rtspserver fails to link with some obscure errors. I'm going back to see if I can cross-compile the original v4l2rtspserver and then figure out what's different here.

What are the errors ?

FYI I was able to cross-compile the v4l2rtspserver using musl, but clearly there've been some significant modifications for the Dafang project, including the integration with the T20 firmware blobs. From what I've seen, the "DWARF" errors may be issues with class variables or mis-match with class method definitions in headers and .cpp. Anyways, I can commit what I have so far to a branch if you'd like to take a crack.
