I've given that some thought, but as far as I can see online, at least the original Kindle Paperwhite and the Touch both have the same SoC, namely the Freescale i.MX508 (
ref ere nces).
As libc version is concerned, we're transplanting the whole shebang, not just
/opt, so that shouldn't be a problem, should it?
And even if it was, the SoCs are the same, so porting the kernel won't be a very big issue (regularly done in the world of Android and other embedded designs when the two devices share the same SoC).
I've also skimmed though
this thread, which seems to be the only attempt here at doing something similar, and it (kind of, somewhat, a little) worked, despite the fact that there are much more differences.
