librt is part of glibc. libpcre is a dependency of glib, but is not
directly used by open-vm-tools. (Some code in the guestInfo plugin may
use glib's regexp functions, but I don't know if they have a hard
dependency on pcre. In any case, ./configure tries to detect whether
glib regexps are available and disables that code accordingly.)

If you're willing to tinker, I've heard of something called "micro glib"
in the past, although I can't find any good pointers for it nor have any
idea how far open-vm-tools would compile with it.
