Working in embedded space, you try to avoid clib in that many of the 
types are
wrong (signed types applied to unsigned functionality etc) and build you 
own
libraries over the the years.

However, clib is very usefull for it's wide range of functionality, for 
quick
utilities and other non critical stuff, but program with care...
