Having less crap in by default reduces the attack surface area. Having a smaller libc makes it easier to audit. (It still needs to actually be audited of course)


I'd like to hear who audits obscure libcs.


musl isn't very obscure to those who are..."into" (for want of a better term) libc alternatives


Since I'm getting downloaded into oblivion over this, where is the latest audit?
