this is probably the source of your problem ... your toolchains are all 
f-jucked.  build a real toolchain targetting uClibc and it should work fine.

unfortunately, there's no real way to pass that information up to the user.  
the kernel cannot find the interpreter in the ELF header so it returns "file 
not found" to the process attempting the exec.

readelf does not provide a way to get at that exactly ... looking at the 
program headers (-l) will usually provide it in a round-about way.  or dump 
the .interp section with -x.  those lucky people with pax-utils package on 
their system can use `scanelf -i` to explicitly get the interpreter :)
