Maybe I spoke too soon. The ppp package builds without too much 
difficulty against uClibc.

[mfratoni at paradox ppp-2.4.1]$ ldd pppd/pppd
        libcrypt.so.0 => /usr/local/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/libcrypt.so.0
        libdl.so.0 => /usr/local/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/libdl.so.0
        libc.so.0 => /usr/local/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/libc.so.0
        /usr/local/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 => 
/usr/local/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/ld-uClibc.so.0

It's even smallish...

[mfratoni at paradox ppp-2.4.1]$ ls -alh pppd/pppd
- -rwxrwxr-x    1 mfratoni mfratoni     161k May  8 00:19 pppd/pppd

It _might_ even work, I haven't tested at all.
