You should be a bit more careful with your words. The libcs are not comparable. glibc is a full featured, standard compliant library while the libc we have for embedded platforms only contains the basic code. What is available hopefully is standard compliant but not all what ISO C 89 demands is completely implemented (not to mention ISO C 9X). This is ok for embedded platforms but it is no alternative for glibc.
