Upgrade to a more recent version.  The first thing I'd do is try to get the 
most recent release version of uClibc (0.9.28) working on your system, and 
see if that still has the bug.

If 0.9.28 doesn't fix it, keep in mind it's now over a year old.  0.9.29 is 
coming out "real soon now", but it's here yet.  At the moment there's a 
flurry of activity to get the release out, so of course the nightly svn 
snapshots are potluck as to whether or not they work right.  Accordingn to 
Mike Frysinger's nightly testy things, the 12/6 snapshot seems to have built 
and worked for most platforms, so that might be worth testing.  (I'm not 
saying to deploy a snapshot, I'm saying it'll tell you whether or not 0.9.29 
will have this bug when it ships.)
