After a discussion on cvs-all regarding size of our libc, I wrote a quick
script to see where the problems are. A cursory glance at its output
shows there are numerous things we can improve, including:
* setproctitle(3) uses 4k of static scratch buffers when it could
allocate these on the stack (let alone reducing the length of the
proc title to something more reasonable than 2k).
* vfwprintf and vfprintf are near duplicates of each other (in fact,
the former is derived from the latter). Each uses 14k of text so
this could be split in half by combining them and selecting different
behavior with a flag.
Here is a link to the size of various components of libc, sorted by text
size. If you can find some way to reduce or even remove some of this,
please submit a patch.
