Sorry about the confusion.  I wanted a small/fast library 
for BL3.  uClibc is the smallest but it isn't stable yet, 
so I used libc5 (which is half the size of glibc2).  Because 
libc5 was also used for BL1, it means that most of those 
packages will work for BL3 (until it moves to uClibc).

BL1 came with libvga to display graphics.  BL3 comes with
X to display graphics.  Unfortunately, programs that display
in libvga do not work with X.

In Slackware there is a file called MANIFEST.gz which
lists all files in all packages.  You will usually find
it in the /slakware directory of every Slackware archive.
A search on that file will usually find what you need.
