What I generally do is set up what I call a "staging directory",
i.e. suppose STAGING_DIR=/home/andersen/myproject/build/stage
then I would set

    SHARED_LIB_LOADER_PATH=/lib
    DEVEL_PREFIX=$(STAGING_DIR)
    SYSTEM_DEVEL_PREFIX=$(STAGING_DIR)
    DEVEL_TOOL_PREFIX=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr

Then when I do a 'make install' it will install the uClibc
development environment into the staging directory.  When you
compile stuff, you then use $(STAGING_DIR)/bin/i386-uclibc-gcc as
your compiler and it will compile stuff using the libraries
living under $(STAGING_DIR)/lib.  These binaries expect to have
the uClibc shared libc under /lib which is perfect for when you
deploy your system.
