However, more importantly for the specific request of an initrd, there is klibc that is probably the best suite for an initrd/initramfs. However, if your next question is how do I build my file system, then all of the other system builders are probably better. Also, an initrd is not needed; you don't need an initrd and can have a semi-normal Linux kernel mount a file system directly... and most modern versions of Linux would use an initramfs and not an initrd (unless you work in a place where the time stopped due to a year 2k bug ;).
