I wonder Khem's if meta-openwrt could have helped here? It looks like it has a
recipe for netifd and friends:

Out of curiosity, did you try using musl? You don't mention which C library
you're using. I'd be curious to know if musl can help with size reduction.

Is toybox mature enough to be used in these situations?
