Obviously I'd nominate toybox. (And busybox.) If only so you have a
context for "ok, what do these NOT cover".
There's an existing "musl vs uClibc" page but we might want a sentence
or two on "musl: obviously the best", "uClibc: tried really hard but
buildroot squished it in 2005 and it never recovered". "dietlibc:
widely mocked for not-a-but-thats-a-feature disease", "klibc: official
libc of the postminimalist art movement".)
"There's always room for dropbear". And polarssl, and so on.
I know we discussed more stuff (rxvt, xcfe and lxde...)
