 What a surprising lack of reaction on this patch! I'd have expected people to
welcome this very much...

 However, I'll start with immediately burning it to the ground :-) I think the
situation of uClibc-ng is very similar to eglibc: it's essentially the same
package, just a different version of it. So, instead of creating a whole new
copy, I think it's easier to maintain if it is one more uclibc version in
package/uclibc/Config.in.

 That page doesn't seem to exist?

 Neither does this one...

 You can probably drop the third version number from the .config, like used to
be the case for busybox. So uClibc-ng-1.0.config.
