The current solutions to share uclibc, eglibc and glibc builds in the same tree all have various issues associated with them. Appending the suffix to TMPDIR seems like the best solution since sstate (which defaults to outside TMPDIR) will allow reuse of any components. This avoids messy changes to the core with other approaches to this problem inevitably entail, usually in code where this abstraction isn;'t logically best placed.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
