AFAIK, Boost.Python is not dependent on *any* details of the 'C'
library underlying the system, so I can't imagine what kind of
compatibility problem there might be.  However, if uClibc has its own
headers, and you have not built Python or Boost.Python against those
headers (e.g. they've been using glibc headers instead), I can see how
it would cause a major problem.
