If you manage to locate a system without all of these libraries -- libc,
linux-gate, and libdl are somewhat fundamental to the operation, libcrypt
handles password hashing, libresolv does DNS, and libnsl does
miscellaneous networking stuff -- I'll be very surprised.

There's nothing on that list that I'd not expect to find on every Linux
system out there, including embedded ones.  I think you're just making
work for yourself that you don't need to.
