 How useful is it to offer a choice for the libc version?

 For uClibc it makes a tiny bit of sense because you may have custom
patches or a custom config, which you don't want to port when going to a
new buildroot version. But I don't think that's a very good reason to
begin with.

 For glibc, however, I really don't see a reason to keep multiple versions.
