Cool, modifying the buildroot script to download the 0.9.8 tarball and 
deleting the uClibc directory, then running the buildroot script 
produced a working system!

I wonder why I got a bad result when I earlier tried going into the 
uClibc directory and running "cvs update -dP -r uClibc_0_9_8", then did 
a make clean and ran the buildroot script again? Stale libraries left 
behind that didn't get reinstalled or something? Also, why does the 
latest snapshot (from before today's breakage) produce working libraries 
when built manually, but not when built using the buildroot script?
