+Newlib is a C library intended for use on embedded systems.
+It is a conglomeration of several library parts, all under free
+software licenses that make them easily usable on embedded products.
+
+Newlib is only available in source form. It can be compiled for a
+wide array of processors, and will usually work on any architecture
+with the addition of a few low-level routines.
