What Hacker News says
2 sourcesAnd if you need parts of libc, you can use something like the below, for something more minimal than musl: https://github.com/Photosounder/MinQND-libc
Personally, although I do use wasi-sdk (clang) and the wasm32-unknown-wasi triple, the result can be basically free-standing, depending on what flags you use.
As a sibling post said, optimization matters, and using wasm-ctor-eval and wasm-opt also helps. But it's useful to keep full C semantics.
