Hi,  
I am new here. Thanks DietPi team for the true lightweight OS.

I use rpi3. And download the RPI official toolchain here  
[https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools](https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools)

With this tool I could make the software running with -static option.

Is there official toolchain for DietPi? What’s the best way get small footprint software.
