Trimming uclibc in l4

[Björn Döbel]

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.
