i really dont think he was trying to make a "universal" binary.  yes, in the 
ELF world, you can only have 1 ldso marked as the interpreter, but you can 
have $infinite installed (assuming no file name collisions).

besides, glibc/uclibc are not even close to ABI compatible, so there's no way 
you can drop the libraries in place of the other and expect things to work.
