And where did you install the documentation?  :-)
Really, the READMEs and the web pages have a lot of good info.

You don't even need to tweak your path when building applications if you set:

    % cd <<some app that usually builds with gcc & glibc>>
    % make CC=/usr/ARCH-linux-uclibc/usr/bin/ARCH-uclibc-gcc

where ARCH- is your target cpu: arm-,i386-,mipsel-,....

Its a little confusing what you're asking.  When you said "toolchain
installed", I guess you just meant "downloaded"?  See the top-level
uClibc/README for how to configure.  Once the 'make' is complete,
then do a 'make install' as root and then the /usr/ARCH-linux-uclibc/*
files will show up, and then you can use the above "make CC=..." on
your subsequent application builds.
