it's not.  socket and route imply some sort of networking, while dirent
and ioctl imply a filesystem.  newlib provides neither.

you need to find an operating system to go along with your C library.
RTEMS (http://www.rtems.com/) and eCos (http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/)
are two freely available examples; there are plenty of others.
