Static linking works on most systems.  The glibc maintainers have
decided to prohibit it, but even with glibc it mostly works--except
for doing DNS lookups.  I don't know whether uClibc supports static
linking or not.

Not in the way you mean.  But you can install both glibc and uClibc on
the same system, just install them in different directories.
