There is also "Diet libc", a standard C library that aims
to not gather fat. ;-)

Key takeaways:

	It was developed [...] with the goal to compile and
	link programs to the smallest possible size. dietlibc
	was developed from scratch and thus only implements
	the most important and commonly used functions. It
	is mainly used in embedded devices.

There are even more libc implementations, with BSD's libc and
Linux's glibc being the most prominent ones:
