Thanks for your reply, at least I know it isn't just me :)

Do you know if this is still considered an "active" project? Most of
the links on the dietlibc webpage are outdated or broken so
unfortunately I'm expecting it is not.

Hmm a matter of opinion - but I do agree with you, mksh is
excellent... but compiles to twice the size
I get 173kb with dietlibc and 184kb with musl. Dash is 81kb and 98kb
respectively (and 70kb with klibc)
