This is a good idea but not strictly necessary since what the docs don't 
tell you (cos I guess the clever Cygnus/FSF folks think it obvious) is 
that an embedded setup is supported by all the flavors (provided the 
embedded code doesn't try to make use of the system calls which won't 
make much sense).

I reckon the real culprit is Dennis Richie (or do I mean Brian 
Kernighan?) who shoveled both the system call stuff (man section 2) and 
the stdio layer (section 3) into a single large libc. With hindsight it 
would have been neater to separate out a libSysCall which would
have been small and system specific.
