Did you configure the server to use the XKB rules at
/usr/share/X11/xkb? Normally, it would use ${datadir}/share/X11/xkb,
but you can use --with-xkb-path.

However, I think it's finding the rules and parsing them, but I think
your XKB rules might be messed up like Peter says. It's failing in
XkbRF_GetComponents. Maybe that has something to do with uclibc. You
might have to throw some printf's in that function in xkb/ddxLoad.c if
you're sure that the XKB rules are installed correctly.
