It's a compiler kit, and I also added two C compilers, and of course I needed a standard library for those. It wouldn't make sense to have a separate project just for the standard library. Anyway, Newlib was not a good match for this for the said reasons. That was my own proposition so far. My compilers are expected to also work on embedded systems, even on bare metal.

> like in most such projects you should add on the initial page some rationale for the existence of the project

Have a look at the readmes; there is one in the root and most subdirectories.
