Hi,
as Marcus already pointed out, newer versions of L4Re actually contain a package called uclibc_minimal that serves exactly this purpose. Even if you are using an older snapshot, chances are that backporting this package (and adapting l4/mk) might be easier than stripping things down yourself.

Update: turns out it is not very simple to compile just bootstrap against a smaller library because the l4/mk/modes.inc file defaults to the uclibc library for compiling the files which is used for all packages. Any ideas how I can change this only for some packages?
Thanks. Ramya ________________________________________ From: l4-hackers [l4-hackers-bounces@os.inf.tu-dresden.de] on behalf of Masti Ramya Jayaram [rmasti@inf.ethz.ch] Sent: 16 September 2014 17:53 To: l4-hackers@os.inf.tu-dresden.de Subject: Trimming uclibc in l4
Dear all,
I would like to extract the minimal subset of uclibc required by bootstrap, sigma and their dependencies only. My idea is to have these modules use the smaller libc while retain the usual uclibc build for the other packages.
I intend to go about this by copying uclibc (say into uclibc_min) and then modifying the contrib_files_all.lst and contrib_files_x86.lst. Is this the correct way to do this?
Also, I extracted all the package dependencies of bootstrap and sigma from the control files (below)
bootstrap: drivers_uart drivers_of libc l4util cxx_io drivers-frst:libc l4util: crtn libc crtn: l4sys l4sys: ldscripts l4util: crtn libc cxx: l4sys l4util ulibc: l4sys sigma0: crtn l4sys l4util libsigma0 cxx_io libsigma0: l4sys
Is this the correct way to do this as well?
Thanks, Ramya
