Well, it would be more correct to say that we no longer support it.
See Erik's post http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2003-October/007315.html

toolchain hasn't been updated in some time. buildroot is what we're
currently using.

If all you want to do is build uClibc apps for the default
configuration, that should be fine.

buildroot is used to build root_fs_<arch>. Using it would allow
you to customize things to your needs.
