Yes, but that's what we have dietlibc for.Now, that's what I call an ANSWER.
Watch this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ gcc -O2 -static -o hello hello.c [EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ ls -l hello -rwxrwxr-x 1 eli eli 441940 Mar 7 11:21 hello* [EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ strip hello [EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ ls -l hello -rwxrwxr-x 1 eli eli 373248 Mar 7 11:21 hello* [EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ diet gcc -O2 -static -o hello hello.c [EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ ls -l hello -rwxrwxr-x 1 eli eli 1827 Mar 7 11:22 hello* [EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ strip hello [EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ ls -l hello -rwxrwxr-x 1 eli eli 792 Mar 7 11:22 hello* [EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ ./hello Hello, world
[EMAIL PROTECTED] helloworld]$ ldd hello not a dynamic executable
792 bytes is fair and square for "Hello world", don't you think?
Thank you very much, Oron.
