Jeremiah,
There are a number of libc alternatives out there for embedded systems.
They include:
uC-libc - http://www.uClinux.org/
uClibc - http://www.uclibc.org/
newlib - http://www.sourceware.org/newlib/
There are more that I'm not including here.
The benefit of using GLIBC is that many Linux apps are written to work
with it. Also, most of the apps in MeeGo are the same.
Why we are using the RedHat version instead of the original GNU
version, I don't know. (http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/)

Quoting Jeremiah Foster <[email protected]>:
Hello,
Is there a reason that MeeGo uses the Red Hat version of glibc[0] versus the
GNU version of glibc[1]?
It seems eglibc is more appropriate for embedded systems.
