Just a thought - why not get the source for bind 8 or 9 and build the resolver 
libraries from that?  Bind 9 also includes the lightweight resolver package 
which is an advanced stub resolver, this might be more appropriate for the 
uClibc audience.

If nothing else, it might be a better starting point than the glibc code.
