Dietlibc shouldn't really call itself a libc, as it is actually only a
thin syscall layer with a malloc() implementation and a few support
functions bolted on. More realistic alternatives are uClibc and NewLib,
which were both recently ported to x86 Linux by Lineo and Werner
Almesberger respectively. uClibc is still quite limited as yet, but it is
very small and is in use by both the uClinux and ELKS projects. I haven't
tried NewLib on Linux yet, but NewLib in general appears to be more
complete and "well polished" (and larger) than uClibc, having been
maintained and sold by Cygnus for use in commercial embedded systems for
many years.
