uClinux is for non mmu soc , since ARM A8 have more power , why you need uClinux ?
Of cause , you can turn off the mmu , but , As I understand , generic linux is enough

Well , uClibc is NOT uClinux
uClibc is more like embed version of Glibc, uClibc can used as generic linux with mmu . just for small size .
uClinux is more patch for no MMU SOC . Glibc , uClibc and uc-libc can used for uClinux .
Almost uClinux use FLT instead ELF for excutive file ,

uClinux is first used on M68K soc, and porting to ARM7 ARM940t ,AND ADI blackfin

Generic buildroot will be NO helpful for uClinux build
