I came across dietlibc and uClibc. What is the difference between them? Which one should I use?
you can use both libraries. The main difference between them is the license: While the dietlibc is GPL, the uClibc is LGPL. Both libs should have nearly the same functionality. Dietlibc is a bit smaller but uClibc seems to be more compatible with the glibc. Note: If your applications are multithreaded and especially more than one thread can perform malloc()/free() at the same time you should link against -luc_c_r.a or -ldiet_c_r.a, respective.
