This kind of size reduction (aka. "optimisation") sounds sort of scary to me. Glibc is a big and complicated beast (look, for instance, at the rather loose ties by which the libnss-stuff is held together). You seem to have some experience here. Can you seriously recommend this for _production_ software?
