olibc: Another C Runtime Library

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

olibc is a C runtime library derived from Android’s bionic (which itself came from NetBSD) that aims to incorporate enhancements from SoC vendors (Qualcomm, TI, Linaro, etc.). It targets embedded Linux with a small footprint (~300 KB) and includes ARM-specific optimizations (NEON, Thumb-2, VFPv3/VFPv4) and modern compiler optimizations, and is released under the BSD license.
