The most troublesome one was the mount command wouldn't compile

number of patches e.g.

.

Interesting. Seeing how embedded systems make use of nis quite a bit,
and rpc provides that support, then I suspect this may help:

I ran across libdrpc

You may also want to check what Sabotage[1] does in their build to work
around this.  I haven't checked myself but rofl0r was the one who nudged
me towards musl (via github interaction).

I did poke around rofl0r/sabotage. I guess I was looking at the old sabatoge. The busybox config file tat they use unsets CONFIG_FEATURE_HAVE_RPC, CONFIG_FEATURE_INETD_RPC as well as other stuff that I couldn't identify. I tried to just turn those off in the CLFS std config, but they were re-activated during the make process. I was able to get the mount applet to compile. My takeaway would be -

pros
        no configuration
        small library size 905k for libc.so
        fast compile

cons
header files don't line up with other c libraries - looking at the change log it appears that this is being actively worked on. No rpc support - which could be remedied with libdrpc (h/t). I havent tried to compile this library w/ musl.


In a different vein - it looks like buildroot uses a generic uClibc config file and then modifies it based on system configuration. It might be feasible to use this approach and some sed commands to flesh out the config file to match the system configuration. You are already doing this by the OABI/EABI in arm, etc.
