Because it is basically 200k tree with all the libc functions.

Well, I guess so, it would just become and extra 200k bagage to kaffe which
some people may not want. I could of course strip out all the 'safe'
functions, but the way things are implemented right now is that libc is
completely avoided to make sure that no one accidently pulls a dangerous
function from libc. On my end it would generate a linkage error and I'd
simply add that function to my safelibc.
