Indeed arm-linux-uclibc- should do. It was just out of habit (and the fact I
copy pasted it from "which")

It does, and I believe this is correct. This makes sure you are linking with
the uClibc libc from the toolchain.

That would be great, but I already noticed it will take a fair amount of work.
And the necessary packages for uClibc.

Indeed you are correct there. It is not the shlibs helper that causes the
problem... The easy, lazy and not so good work-around is just ignoring it for
the moment (thus uncommmenting it out in the (em)debian/rules file.)
