i've managed to cross-compile curl for the PPC, disabling darned
near everything since all i need is support for ftps, and i statically
linked all of the libraries that weren't already on my embedded
system. you can see the few libs that are still being linked
dynamically here:

  $ ppc_8xx-ldd curl
    libc.so.6 => /usr/local/eldk3.1.1/ppc_8xx/lib/libc.so.6
    libdl.so.2 => /usr/local/eldk3.1.1/ppc_8xx/lib/libdl.so.2
    ld.so.1 => /usr/local/eldk3.1.1/ppc_8xx/lib/ld.so.1

the resulting PPC executable is still a whopping big 1.3M so i'm
wondering how few libs i need to link to get ftps support. just how
small can i make this thing? thanks.
