13 Alternatives? Hardly, I think. There are some "lightweight" variants:
14
15 - - sys-libs/uclibc
16 http://www.uclibc.org/
17
18 - - dev-libs/dietlibc
19 http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/
20
21 comes to mind, but afaik they don't have the full functionality of
22 glibc. uclibc seems to be enough for XFCE, though (there is a hardened
23 stage4 with XFCE named lilblue made by blueness)
