Enable Small C library means that you have a small footprint compiled binary code.

Some of the Standard C library function is reduced to simpler function.

For example, the printf function in Small C library don't have buffering mechanism anymore.

Same like other function too.

This option is very useful if you try to fit a bigger ELF into a smaller ROM/RAM.
