I have committed the change to switch defaulting to eglibc in minimal micro and
sane-toolchain. If you see issues yell at me. I will try to fix ASAP

On Tom's suggestion I also added necessary PREFERRED_PROVIDERS to
sane-toolchain-uclibc and now by selecting correct LIBC with distro
minimal and micro we can have a system built which means we do not
need the -uclibc versions of the minimal and micro distros. 

For now I have left then in there as it is. They will be deleted
if I dont here someone using them.

Thanks
