libc is getting larger? Yes.  The problem is we are statically linking
to it and the final programs are larger.  Besides, you know that you
are not working with symlinks, and you don't need directory emulation,
and so forth, and adding in utterly unneeded overhead makes one (at
least me) feel embarrassed somehow.
