Not that I know. It mostly is useful so that you don't have to change
seventy headers if the name of libc changes on some platform, to potentially
polish away issues with dependancies on certain sublibraries
(libdl,libgettext,libgcc), and to encapsulate libc errno access.

There shouldn't be a {$linklib C or linklib gcc in any unit. _always_ via
unit initc.
