There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the kernel in this log.
The failure is in the user code - in particular, udev is giving up
with these errors:
   /sbin/udevstart: '/lib/libc.so.6' library contains unsupported TLS
After that, all is lost as there will be no console, etc, for the
rest of the system to use...

You need to examine how you built the root file system and why you
are getting these errors.  This problem seems to be unique to uclibc
