The kernel doesn't link against any libc, it builds with -nostdlibs.  It's 
quite possible to build the kernel with a toolchain configured to link normal 
executables against uClibc instead of glibc by default, but it makes no 
difference to the kernel build.

Yup.  Been done.  See http://buildroot.uclibc.org for a project that does it.

Again, look at buildroot.

I think puppylinux.org does this although their website and documentation are 
so truly horrible I just spent five minutes trying to confirm it and 
couldn't.  I think the easy way would be to download the CD, boot it, and 
look around...
