Moreover, can libposix and libc coexist in the same address space?
What address space are you talking about? There is also dietlibc and uClibc,
who can coexist with glibc. But applications can only link against one of them
at the time of course.
I suspect the concern

Since they don't link against a large library. Granted, that is only a
benefit
if all running programs link against libposix instead of glibc.
What makes you think libposix will be smaller?

Since they don't link against a large library.
Which is a ridiculous argument given what the S in .so means.
And linking against a 100MB library will generally _not_ eat 100MB
memory during
