Maintainer time mostly and for some uses bloat. > If you dynamically link, it makes no difference I had projects that were limited by the time it took to load and initialize the program binary and loading/linking the C standard library was the largest dependency it had. > and if you statically link, any decent linker won’t bring in what you don’t use Santa, a sufficiently smart compiler and a decent linker walk into a bar.
