In my limited experience, I haven't come across a linux system without
some form of a c library.  Pretty much everything in gnu userland
relies on it.

Not depending on libc is a good thing and keeps options open,
especially for embedded development.  E.g. you can try and write your
own busybox style program in fpc, to make a 100% pascal userland :)
