Well, some _very_ small .tar.gz from the 'net that _DON'T_ depend on other exoteric link ins outside the libc _might_ compile.

The easiest method that I've found is to grab an old libc5 linux distribution and then simply use that to compile all your stuff in a full blown environment, and then drop it into mu.
In particular, zipslack 3.9 or 3.5 (www.slackware.com - go to 'get slack' & find a mirror near you, most sites still host it) is rather useful as it is a simple 40meg download & will provide you with a full-octane system - just dump it onto a spare DOS partition (just like mu in umsdos mode :^).
The most interesting thing is that dillo (dillo.sourceforge.net) claims to compile ok on libc5 (with a little tweaking of the sourcecode). Linked dynamically & stripped, the executable is only 200kb is size :-! even with static linking of GTK, it might compress to something easily rustified :-)
