If I were to set up /usr/X11R6 and /var/X11R6 in BL2 to contain files of
the same name as in BL3 but from SW71 instead of SW4.0 would that work?
Or at least have the same symlinks but pointing to the library files with
the SW71 version number if they differ. I presume the fonts can be copied
directly, tho not the /bin and /lib/*lib* files.

Why did you use a 2.4 kernel, was that needed by uClibC? How much bigger
would the kernel be for BL3 if you compiled a 2.4 kernel with the same
configuration as the current one?
Is this the only linux using glibc5 AND uClibC AND a program compiled with
kernel 2.4? You sure are pushing the limits here. I hope it all works
out eventually.
