Do you work with embedded systems that use glibc? It's bloated.

It's bad enough keeping up with the cruft dreamed up by POSIX; why add BSD functions that nobody uses outside of the BSD microcosm.

Glibc is monolithic; functions that nothing in your system uses are still sitting there in the .so image.
