Great! Fix everything :)

Well, possibly, yes, given that apps can stil find the bits of the
tree they need.

You will need to point apps to the uClibc headers location.
And if an app uses kernel headers you'll have to have the
kernel source tree around anyway. If an app uses a library
you will need to point it to the location of the library
in the source tree, etc. etc. etc.

But why do you want to do this? If you compile an app in-tree all
this and more is being taken care of for you already.

And you will need to read and/or write Makefiles either way.
