In the current version of Buildroot, we still offer 0.9.28.3 as a choice, but you have to enable BR2_DEPRECATED to see it. However, be warned that the version of uClibc is not the only thing. You have to create a uClibc with a configuration that is similar to the uClibc that was used by the binaries at the time they were generated. Depending on the configuration, the uClibc API/ABI changes.
