I've been working on it for quite a while myself, except I'm not just 
replacing glibc with uclibc but I'm also replacing coreutils and friends with 
busybox.  (And yes, getting the result to recompile under itself.  It's not 
easy.)

I just flung my chapter 5 script onto my website at 
http://www.landley.net/code/firmware/mktools-uclibc.sh and the source tarball 
that it uses is in the same directory as "sources.tar.gz".  (That source 
tarball also contains all the source for the chapter 6 build, plus some stuff 
like dropbear that I intend to add soon...)

The only bit I'm not sure will work is the last few lines that strip the debug 
stuff (yesterday they would eat libc.so.0, truncating it to zero length.  I 
think I just fixed that, but you can comment those lines out to be safe, it 
just means the toolchain will result in a 20.6 megabyte tarball instead of a 
7.6 megabyte tarball, but it's functionally equivalent.

I'll have my chapter 6 script up as soon as I finish debugging some stuff.  
Maybe tomorrow.

The above is not necessarily a permanent link, but I can leave it there a few 
days...
