Yes. That would be a far harder problem to solve - the problem is just that
the stdio implementation in glibc is based on GNU libio, which is pretty
large. For space-critical applications you might want to build a library
containing an alternative stdio (maybe the one from newlib) and link with
that.

Good point.
