You sound like an OSKit poster-child :-). Check out


http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/oskit/


The OSKit contains a small libc that probably does exactly what you
want. It also has device, filesystem, and networking libraries, an
X11 client library, and even a small pthreads layer.


However, the the source is not currently available. We have been
planning another release for a while and it will happen real soon now
(mail oskit-announce-request@cs.utah.edu) to get on the announce list,
oskit-users-request to get on the user list).
