I just noticed that you were building it with -Os. So I built dash with -Os and this is what I get:

$ size dash
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64397     884   10240   75521   12701 dash
$ size klibc-1.1.1/ash/sh.shared
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  66237     424   70908  137569   21961 klibc-1.1.1/ash/sh.shared

So it looks like as long as dash can link with klibc then:

1) It should be smaller in size.
2) It should be more stable due to much wider testing coverage (Debian).
3) You get some extra bells & whistles thrown in for free like printf.

I'll let you know when I have a version that links with klibc.

Cheers,
