Nudged by your comment about the wolftpm sources, I had myself a look
into the GitHub repository [1]. After browsing the code I got the
impression that the TPM hardware use case (--enable-devtpm) is
completely independent of LibC if the backend is reimplemented for
Genode. The SWTPM (--enable-swtpm) naturally requires LibC and a
network stack to my understanding. Note, I did not check transitive
dependencies resulting in wolfcrypt.
