If your only X executable is xli, there is no need
for libX11. xli statically linked to libX11 will
always be smaller than a dynamic xli plus libX11.

Yes, uClibc is about half the size of libc5.
And libc5 is about half the size of glic2.
I put libc5 in BL3 instead of uClibc for 2 reasons:
(1) updates to uClibc break binary compatibility
(2) there are many more libc5 binaries available

If it were libc5, it would certainly fit. In fact
I tried compiling a small dbclient for BL 3.5, but
the static binary was too big and behaved strangely.

Certainly it would save some space. But telnet is
useful for other purposes.
