For uClibc, you will likely need --enable-builtin-getifaddrs
For cross-building, here's an example using the Linaro ARM toolchain
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --without-client --without-extensions
you can build cross with client and extensions perfectly well, but
apart from the size shrink this has the nice characteristic that no
non-toolchain libraries are needed to build it.
otherwise if /usr/local/... and /usr/local/lib are OK then...

Memory efficiency
-----------------
This shows the impact of the major configuration with/without options at
13ba5bbc633ea962d46d using Ubuntu ARM on a PandaBoard ES.
These are accounting for static allocations from the library elf, there are
additional dynamic allocations via malloc

[1] --disable-debug only removes messages below lwsl_notice. Since that is
the default logging level the impact is not noticable, error, warn and notice
logs are all still there.
[2] 1024 fd per process is the default limit (set by ulimit) in at least Fedora
and Ubuntu.
[3] known headers are retained via additional mallocs for the lifetime of the
connection
