GNU C Library

The GNU C Library, glibc, provides the standard C library interface for GNU/Linux and other Free Software operating systems.

uClibc

uClibc (aka µClibc/pronounced yew-see-lib-see) is a C library for developing embedded Linux systems. It is much smaller than the GNU C Library, but nearly all applications supported by glibc also work perfectly with uClibc.

dietlibc

The diet libc is a libc that is optimized for small size. It can be used to create small statically linked binaries for Linux on alpha, arm, hppa, ia64, i386, mips, s390, sparc, sparc64, ppc and x86_64.

musl

musl, pronounced like “mussel” or “muscle”, is a “libc”, an implementation of the standard library functionality described in the ISO C and POSIX standards, plus common extensions, intended for use on Linux-based systems. It is lightweight, fast, simple, free, and aims to be correct in the sense of standards-conformance and safety.

DeforaOS

DeforaOS is a multi-purpose Operating System, providing an ubiquitous, secure and transparent access to user resources. It features a POSIX-compliant environment, and can work on top of existing systems (Linux, *BSD...). Its desktop environment is focused on usability, coherence and integration ... [More] , with many applications available already. Developed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, it suits modern embedded platforms as well. [Less]

Public Domain C Library

Eventually a minimal but fully ISO/IEC 9899:1989 / 1999 / 2011 and ISO/IEC 14882:1997 / 2011 compliant C standard library framework in the Public Domain, with clean OS interfaces, usable on a variety of platforms and particularly suited for use as the C library on new platforms.

libpayload

libpayload is a small BSD-licensed static library (a lightweight implementation of common and useful functions) intended to be used as a basis for coreboot payloads. The benefits of linking a coreboot payload against libpayload are: * Payloads do not have to implement and maintain low-level ... [More] code for I/O, common functions, etc. * Payloads can be recompiled and deployed for CPU architectures supported by coreboot in the future. * The libpayload functions can be tested and scrutinized outside payload development. * Payloads themselves may be partly host-tested, e.g. against an emulation libpayload. [Less]

libpthread-stubs

libpthread-stubs provides stub functions for pthreads as weak aliases for platforms on which libc does not provide these stubs. Linking to both libc and libpthread-stubs will always provide a full set of pthread stubs, allowing programs and libraries to portably use pthreads when linked to pthreads ... [More] and improve single-threaded performance when not linked to pthreads. [Less]

akuma

A toolchain consisting of a C compiler and various tools for binary object handling.

libposix

libposix is a bold attempt to unify the implementation of the core functionality of all Unix systems.
