libgloss, newlib and libstd++, the GNU libraries 

GNUPro Toolkit has three libraries: libgloss, newlib and libstd++.
 

libgloss
libgloss, the library for GNU Low-level OS Support, contains the startup code, the I/O support for gcc and newlib (the C library), and the target board support packages that you need to port the GNU tools to an embedded execution target.
The C library used throughout this manual is newlib, however libgloss could easily be made to support other C libraries. Because libgloss resides in its own tree, it’s able to run standalone which allows it to support GDB’s remote debugging and to be included in other GNU tools. Several functions that are essential to GCC reside in libgloss. These include the following functions.
