I found a 2001 dietlibc e2fsck, about 63K, statically linked, which in BL3 
loop segfaults.  There is a 2003 version of dietlibc but the binaries are 
mostly 2001.

There are also dumpe2fs mke2fs resize2fs and tune2fs.  Does resize2fs 
actually work on existing filesystems?

Are there any archives of utilities precompiled with uClibc? 
I don't really want to download and compile 3.5MB source code.

Timidity for BL3 works perfectly out of the box in BL2 to which I have 
installed libc5 from Slackware 4.0, and sounds better with eawpats, which 
is 28MB bz2 and unpacks to 36MB.  I needed 23MB of this to listen to an 
assortment of classical midis.  I am looking for a way to extract .pat 
from .sf2 (I found a large .sf2 for just strings).
