Yeah, that seems to be the problem.
glibc errno.h defines:
extern char *program_invocation_name, *program_invocation_short_name;
While uClibc has:
extern const char *program_invocation_name,
*program_invocation_short_name;

If you fix uClibc errno.h to drop the const in these definitions the
code will compile as is.

Thanks,
