John, that's probably correct, the tiny configuration uses uclibc and if 
you see bug number 5431 
(https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5431), there are a 
number of recipes that will not build correctly with the full uclibc, 
but that was with a full uclibc, where as the tiny configuration cuts 
down ulibc to just support the bare minimum.

Hope that helps with your efforts.

Sau!
