Yes this is possible.  See the gcc wrapper toolchain that is
compiled by default when building uClibc.  Just do a 'make
install' and you will see this wrapper toolchain.

There are some possible problems however, since binutils will
leak libraries linked with glibc into your link if it cannot find
uClibc linked libraries,
