If that can be doed why you'll need uClibc? some symbols and function names 
are checked by "configure scripts" every time you build from sources a 
package, then if this script detect less features, this features are 
disabled, and some functions are replaced with internal macros to cover 
required functionality. (This is not exactly a true explanation).

Of course one binary builded with uClibc is not compatible with one builded 
with glibc.

Yes, kaffe is a JVM that uses jikes to build you can build kaffe on uClibc and 
is a lot faster than Sun's JVM.

My patch and a quickstart:
