installing with dietglic or uClibc

is it possible to install gentoo from the ground up w/ either of these libraries? dietlibc is not binary compatible w/ glibc, so would i have to modify the bootstrap process for this? or could i install by normal, and then just switch to uClibc? i want to have a system as optimized and fast as possible, and thought using one of these might help. thanks in advance for any comments

While this doesn't directly answer your question, it does seem to indicate that it can be done.

I'm working on it right now, and I encounters HUGES problems,
this guy on this is a genious or a liar.
