linux-2.6.24-uc0.patch is for applying to a stock Linus 2.6.24.

No, I don't generate a patch specifically against the 2.6.x code in
uClinux-dist.

There is a patch that updates all of uClinux-dist to the current "head"
of development. You can find them at:

http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/dist/patches

They bring the whole of uClinux-dist up to date when applied
to the most recent full release (currently 20070130).
They update kernels, user apps, libs, the whole thing.

Hmm, that does appear to be broken. I am not even sure what
that article was :-(

Unfortunately the doco for most of this always seems to be
out of date...
