The Linux kernel (and hence also µcLinux) does not aim to be compilable with any compiler other than GCC, adn I've never heard of anyone successfully trying to do this. If your Starcore has an MMU then you may have more luck with NetBSD; or you could try porting eCos, which is a much smaller OS but does offer a certain level of Posix compatibility.
