Nope.  Pulled the repository, tarred it up, stuck it in my build system, and 
the uClibc build still dies attempting to generate syscalls:

  GEN include/bits/sysnum.h
In file included from <stdin>:1:
/home/landley/firmware/firmware/build/cross-compiler-
m68k/include/asm/unistd.h:4:23: error: unistd_mm.h: No such file or directory
In file included from <stdin>:1:

m68k/include/asm/unistd.h:4:23: error: unistd_mm.h: No such file or directory
ERROR: Could not generate syscalls.
