It was a library location issue - when I created a /usr/local/lib (or 
wherever it was) and plased the ld lib in there it started working. 
But...

I really want ld.so to be in /lib as this is a very minimal root 
filesystem (about 500k in total) and each directory adds to the size of 
the zipped filesystem - not great when I'm trying to get this all onto 
1 floppy.

Any hints as to how I can move ld.so to be in /lib - but only for 
certain applications that I compile in the uClibc build environment?
