utilities need to scan through all directories and files on multiple
filesystems - the more layer added to aufs, the worse it would be. Thus it
needs any optimisation it can get. I'm not the author of aufs-utils so I
can't be so sure.
Right now I managed to get it compiled with uclibc so at least the size
problem is resolved in the interim, but I prefer to use musl if possible.
cheers!
