Apps compiled against libuclibc-dev look for libuClibc.so.0
at runtime.  The compile-time linker sees libc.so as a link
to libuClibc-0.9.5.so, and links to that.  libuClibc-0.9.5.so
has a soname of libuClibc.so.0, so the app depends on that
soname, and looks for it when it is run.  It seems to make
more sense as an overall strategy.
