Actually, libc is the only supported system interface for Mac OS X/ 
darwin (system calls are undocumented and change all the time, even  
between minor OS revisions). Libc is also guaranteed to be forward  
compatible (i.e., the situation that a program will not run anymore  
on a future OS release because it uses a symbol which no longer  
exists in a new libc, will not happen on Mac OS X unless there is a  
bug, which will then be fixed by Apple)

There are several libc's for almost any OS out there.

The libc unit is only provided for Linux/x86 for Kylix compatibility.  
Use unix/baseunix instead, which works on all *nix OS'es.

Yes.

I don't think so.
