I think it would be nice to dump uclibc in favor of glibc for sure... I
realize space constraints were an issue in the past..  but really we are
dealing with flash cards in the gigabytes now and not megabytes..  so having
a few extra megs in there wont hurt things

I agree with so many small and low power consumption x86 hardware out there,
and getting less costly all the time too...that supporting non-standard
targets might end up being a lot of work, only to find that particular
device discontinued a short time later...  im not saying blackfin will be
discontinued..  

but it seems there are already other linux developments for blackfin?

We've been looking at different platforms for future AstLinux 
development.  I know Philip and I disagree on this, but I don't see us 
supporting blackfin or other non x86 targets.  With the number of 
available small x86 target devices, it's hard to justify the development 
effort to support alternative architectures.
