Yeah, but why? I've never used a libc on embedded, and I'm kind of confused as to why you'd want to. Am I just Doing It Wrong™?

Atleast for avr-gcc, (part of) startup code and vector table layout come from avr-libc.

I'm kinda surprised you got by without libc - no strxxx, memxxx ,xxxprintf/no math.h functions ever?

No. But my embedded projects weren't particularly impressive. I can at least see the need now.
