I guess it has to be glibc+uclibc, otherwise all the non-embedded boxes 
(servers) would have to install uclibc.

And, besides, uclibc is not a requirement to get some app running in an 
Embedded Scenario. There are quite a bunch of projects out there that use 
http://www.openembedded.org (#oe on *.freenode.net) with glibc and still 
fit in much less than 32 MB. OE is a framework to generate embedded, 
taylored mini-distributions. It's used for Zaurus, Ipaq, VIA EPIA 
mini-itx systems, Linksys WRT54G ...
