A "standard", glibc-built gcc might work for your system, but it won't
in the general case. gcc has a tendency to have compiled-in defaults
that like to leak all over the place, and it needs to be specifically
built for uClibc with very careful tuning to avoid falling back to
invalid glibc-based assumptions.
Compiling stuff with a leaking toolchain can lead to very, very ugly
things, and building a working GNU toolchain with not-glibc is not a
piece of cake (which is why buildroot exists in the first place).
