Someone asked me to put together a Delightful list on a topic of interest so I chose lightweight, cross-platform C programs and libraries. Delightful lists are similar to the Awesome lists on github.
Here's the list so far:

If anyone has suggestions of other useful C programs or libraries for the list, please post them. Thank you.

Sorry, I meant to reply earlier because you seem to have made a nice looking list.

I'm not doing C these days but if I come across anything I think might be useful to add I'll let you know. I'll certainly check out some of the stuff in your list when I find some time to do that.

tgcrypt looks interesting for a small distro as an alternative to LUKS
Public domain, 2022 release - tiny.

cryptdev sets up encrypted block devices using the Linux kernel's
device-mapper API. It does not require any external libraries, only the
standard C library plus the kernel headers. This makes it a very light
and floaty replacement for the gargantuan heft of libdevmapper, dmsetup,
and cryptsetup.
