In other words, you want a version of BFD which will run on an
arm-linux-uclibc system?  This is not something that most people want,
and in general I don't know why you would want this.  However, the way
to do it is to first build a complete arm-linux-uclibc
toolchain--including a version of BFD which runs on your host
system--and then use that toolchain as the compiler to build BFD.
That is, first build and install the arm-linux-uclibc toolchain, and
install it somewhere on your PATH, and then run something like

    configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux-uclibc --target=arm-linux-uclibc

That ought to use your arm-linux-uclibc toolchain to build BFD,
although I wouldn't be surprised if there are various details to fix
along the way.
