O.k. Interesting. A couple of things. For sheer size you probably want to look at uclibc or dietlibc as these are activively maintained and built to be small unlike libc5 which has come to the end of it's development. I don't know how well we support 2.2.x it works but there have been occasional strange things. With a 486 target it shouldn't be an issue but if you could confirm the memory problem occurs with 2.4.x we can trivially rule that problem out. Of course tracking why 2.2.x has problems would work too. Eric
