I still don't get it.
We are not trying to disable fts in glibc, so it is available there.
Why we can't enable it for uClibc-ng to get more compatibility?
Just because of the bigger size?

If someone needs a really small system, there is always the
possibilty to use a really small uClibc-ng config.
