[LLVMdev] Compiling glibc with clang/LLVM

[Brian Faull]

Another C library possibility is "musl" -- http://www.musl-libc.org .  Not trying to sell it, and don't mean to start a "whats your favorite library" discussion either. :)

That said, musl seems to compile and work.  Aimed at being lightweight but full-featured.  Targeted at Linux systems for several common architectures.  Uses "permissive MIT license".

Hope it works for you or helps,
Brian
