• Most of the applications compile with uClibc

• • This applies to all applications used in embedded applications
  • The whole Debian Woody was ported to it... You can assume it satisfied most needs!

• Size (arm): 4 times smaller than glibc! uClibc: approx. 400 KB (libuClibc: 300 KB, libm: 55KB) glibc: approx 1700 KB (libc: 1.2 MB, libm: 500 KB)

• Used on a large number of production embedded products, including consumer electronic devices
