I'm using mainline Buildroot for a custom board that is based on the
Atmel NGW100 board, with an ap7000 processor. I haven't had any major
problems; I've had to patch the 3.6.x mainline kernel to get the board
to boot from SD card --- I'm not using any Atmel kernel patches.

I'd be very interested in helping with the migration to uClibc 0.9.33.

Simon.
