I managed to build an (allmost) complete version of Bering RC3 against uClibc 0.9.12. This version is *a lot* smaller than the original version build against GLIBC2. I tested the following modules: weblet, root, initrd, dhcpd, pump, ezipupd, dnscache... I don't use pppd, so I couldn't test it but it compiled without a problem. I had some problems with the symbolic links stdin, stdout and stderror to /dev/fd in root.dev.mk (I couldn't log in) so I removed them, still everything works like expected. I don't know exactly what the problem is with stdin etc but maybe it's got something to do with uClibc, tinylogin or the version of ash I use (slack 8.1). I don't have the "ip patched" version of ifupdown and included ifconfig and route. There is a new version of ifupdown (0.6.4-4.3) that makes it possible to use udhcp and make things even smaller.
I don't know if uClibc is the way to go for LEAF, but it's rappidly evolving. Glibc 2.0.7 is not maintained and Glibc 2.2.x is just to big to fit on a floppy. An other 'advantage' of uClibc is that you can get rid of nss libs and nsswitch.conf.
