Yes

I belive all the libraries I need are installed, but I can't check as I
can't execute external commands (so I can't run 'ldd' and check).

I compile the stuff (uClibc, BusyBox, e2fsprogs, util-linux) like this
(cut&paste from my build.sh script):

--8<---8<--
echo "Building and Installing uClibc"
(
	cd $BUILDROOT/INSTALLER/usr/src/uClibc* &&
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" make
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" make install
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" make PREFIX=$BUILDROOT/cdrom_fs install_target
)

echo "Building and Installing BusyBox"
(
	PATH=$BUILDROOT/INSTALLER/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin:$PATH &&
	cd $BUILDROOT/INSTALLER/usr/src/busybox* &&
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" make PREFIX=$BUILDROOT/cdrom_fs
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" make install PREFIX=$BUILDROOT/cdrom_fs
)

echo "Building and Installing util-linux"
(
	PATH=$BUILDROOT/INSTALLER/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin:$PATH &&
	cd $BUILDROOT/INSTALLER/usr/src/util-linux* &&
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" ./configure
	cd fdisk
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" make sfdisk
	strip sfdisk
	install -m 755 -o root -g root sfdisk $BUILDROOT/cdrom_fs/bin/
)

echo "Building and Installing ext2/ext3 tools"
(
	PATH=$BUILDROOT/INSTALLER/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin:$PATH &&
	cd $BUILDROOT/INSTALLER/usr/src/e2fsprogs* &&
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" ./configure
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" make 
	install -m 755 -o root -g root misc/mke2fs $BUILDROOT/cdrom_fs/bin/
)
