I can help with a uClibc build environment - I build packages for Alpine
Linux (which uses uClibc) & have recently been testing a build
environment for it in LXC on Debian - a working Alpine system is 5 meg
in size.

I've attached an Alpine template (from Alpine - its newer than the
template in Debian Testing) - it's simple to get working in Debian with
these notes:

http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/LXC
https://wiki.debian.org/LXC
<http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/LXC>
The root password is blank & networking needs to be enabled in the
Alpine Guest with:

/*rc-update add networking boot
rc-service networking start*/

Build tools can be installed with:

/*apk add alpine-sdk*/

Stuart.
