TOS/libc in lib/toslibc is a variant of a C standard library that can be used to build other C programs for Atari ST, and so it makes sense to create a new TOS/libc repository for it. Its main feature is that a normal unmodified m68k compiler can be used without applying any patches. Unlike traditional Atari ST compilers, C int type integers are 32-bit rather than 16-bit.
The FreeMiNT libcmini package is similar, but it requires a special m68k-atari-mint compiler.
