Before the advent of uclibc-ng, Buildroot was considering switching by default to glibc [2], as the old uclibc project was dead and Buildroot shipped zillions of patches for it.

You guys should hop on #musl (Freenode IRC) and talk to the musl devs. They're very interested in extending the arch coverage, especially to noMMU; some noMMU archs are already perfectly supported - I don't know the details because I'm no expert, but I'm fairly sure musl is a valid choice for a good number of targets, and it's rapidly evolving. -- Laurent
