Use gentoo, there this issue is solved ;)

It is caused by old configure scripts that need patching so that they 
correctly recognise shared lib support in uClibc.
Signs for incorrect recognition when running configure:
a. shared lib support is disabled although you used --enabled-shared
b. dependancy : unknown

The above sentences about static are incorrect, I have built kaffe w/ 
shared lib support, both 1.1.5 and .6 in a gentoo env.

I had only the first one missing and removed #define isnan ... from 
namespace.h (I am using the full susv3 patches from bugs.uclibc.org 
though, so my libm is different from upstream)
