uClibc is on the archive (not usable for runtime), it was also added to dpkg as a new architecture, maybe someday we'll have a uClibc (w/ MMU and w/o MMU). We might need to support flat binaries for that. There are also some teams and individuals which have the desire to work on mobile world having Debian on them, for such purposes and maybe not officially, there is space for a bionic libc or some others that might be suitable for such purposes. I do not want to interfere on the decission of using readelf, but at least take into account those points before doing any change which might be hard to revert later on.
