that's what the code says:
int mq_notify(mqd_t mqdes, const struct sigevent *notification)
{
    /* We don't support SIGEV_THREAD notification yet */
    if (notification != NULL && notification->sigev_notify == SIGEV_THREAD) {
        __set_errno(ENOSYS);
        return -1;
    }
    return __syscall_mq_notify(mqdes, notification);
}

uclibc development is pretty loose.  features are generally implemented when 
someone cares about it and steps up to it.  requests and interest in general 
with librt is very very low.

all the code is in librt/ ... it's pretty small, so i doubt you need more info 
than that

otherwise there's:
