IIRC, Axtls was <100kb and has an openSSL API and has a stunnel (axtlswrap) and httpd with ssl (axhttpd) that are <100kb static builds

In case I don't get around to fully researching it, the kernel spews out major and minor numbers in /sys that are greater than 255, so the makedev in /sys/sysmacros.h is insufficient (also major() and minor()???)  I noticed because I wrote a shell script that populates /dev from /sys in <0.2 seconds but failed for large major/minor numbers when I built busybox with musl.  At first glance, it looks like dev_t needs to be uint and have the extra bits from major and minor prepended as in the kernel's dev_t?

R,
