you first have to prove that this is a bug in uClibc and not touch.  where 
exactly are you getting touch from ?  did you try running gdb against that to 
see if it is the one doing the read and not uClibc ?  considering the 
functions (most likely) involved, i doubt uClibc is the culprit.

what glibc is doing is largely irrelevant as the version of touch built there 
will use wildly different interfaces (the *at funcs in this case).
