Although uC-libc is not so "up to date" I think it can be important to
device with small flash memory (like Netburn MOD5272) since it create
smallest binary footprint.

Do you add all kernels supported by uClinux distro (2.0.x, 2.4.x and 2.6.x) ?

I think your idea to add uClinux support on OE is fantastic!
