Yes, but that's what we have dietlibc for. Look:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp]$ gcc -o t t.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp]$ ls -l t
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oron users 11348 Mar 7 09:01
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp]$ diet gcc -o t t.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp]$ ls -l t
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oron users 1728 Mar 7 09:02
So most of the bloat is in glibc (it has to support a lot of
optional code [e.g: nsswitch, resolving etc.])
