Hello,

Some years ago I extracted the memory system from OpenBSD's
libc, I put it on http://goon.yellowcouch.org/software/
Under the name libc.rogue.

This might be useful if you want to make a small
footprint libc. It includes powerpc sys headers.

Like an embedded or "microkernel" statically linked with libc and a
program binary and that's all, no root filesystem?

Are you using the full kernel?

Like NetBSD rump?
