Built on a uclibc system using the build scripts at

https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-ramdisk.git/

You can use the stage3 uclibc tarballs at

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3-amd64-uclibc-hardened/

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/x86/autobuilds/current-stage3-i686-uclibc-hardened/

I am also responsible for those tarballs.  The hardened uclibc webpage 
is at the following link

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Hardened_uClibc

and gives more information about what goes into them.
