How is nolibc better than musl or a static executable?

It gives you access to 100% of Linux's system calls. It eliminates a lot of global state. It gets rid of a lot of legacy C library crap.

Years ago I wrote a rationale for such a thing in my liblinux project:

I don't maintain it anymore because nolibc is better but there's a lot of references in that text if you'd like to read them.
