I wasn't suggesting anybody use newlib. Rather, I was suggesting that all the interface a C, or Go, or Java, or ASM program ever needs between it and the "POSIX" OS is contained in 17 syscalls. That's about as minimal, or suckless as you can get. The fact that the newlib folks identified that fact is inconsequential.
