  For some reason, "info libc" gets you to a broken index page, by which I
mean the links don't work in info, and nothing shows up with apropos.  But
running "info diprintf" or "man diprintf" directly do work.  So there is at
least a fair amount of newlib documentation there.  (But there's no actual
page for plain old printf itself!)

    cheers,
