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.
