500k? I rarely have a uClibc above 200k, not sure how you have managed
to make one so large.

What does the app actually do though? What is the use case for
stdio-less apps in a static linked environment? I argue it is close to
no use, and the fact that it has been broken for years and no-one has
fixed it rather backs me up on that.
