The busybox in BL3 is static (no dependencies). That's why
it is as large as it is. You can delete every library in
/lib and BL3 will still boot and function normally. Xvesa
is also static -- so you can boot BL3 and run an Xterminal
without a library.

libc5 is half the size of an up-to-date library (glibc2).
Slackware 4.0 provides a large number of libc5 packages.

Cheers,
