This is only the case for ARC, right?
Other architectures should work fine, like MIPS or ARM.

uclibc-ng & ARC developers:
I'm trying to use buildroot to build the latest ARC toolchain
(arc-2016.09-eng007) against our vendor-provided 2.6.35.12 ARC Linux
kernel. (Yes, it is an ancient kernel, but that's what I have to work
with for now, unfortunately.)
...
Questions:
1) Does the latest ARC toolchain use some new ABI for binaries that
makes them incompatible with 2.6.35.12 kernel?
Indeed even if you were to build it successfully - you will run into ABI issues -
2.6.35 is ABI v1 and we are currently at v3 (which is going to change soon even
further to v4 - for ARC HS processors)
More details at:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/linux/wiki/ARC-Linu…
2) Is uclibc-ng 1.0.17 supposed to be compatible
with 2.6.x kernel headers?
No - modern/upstream uClibc-ng is not compatible with 2.6.35
You need to use the uClibc of the time - with pairing gcc/binutils - although that
will be a can of worms
