I recently built the inetutils-1.4.1 package with the intention of
using "ping" on a boot/root disk set. Unfortunately "ping" along
with libm, libresolv and so on was too big to fit on the tiny disk
set.
For a root/boot disk set I would not even recommend using inetutils,
let alone things like the GNU C Library, they are not suitable for
such specific systems. Inetutils is written to be feature rich. If
you really need such featureless programs then there are far better
alternatives.
Note, if such changes make the code nicer (and the compiled binary
smaller at the same time), then I don't really don't object.
