I don't follow "only the libc".  If you mean "I am building a system and
most of it is not from NetBSD but I am using NetBSD libc", then:

The license is more or less per file/system and thus if you include a
file you have to follow the license.

A straightforward reading is that when you distribute a binary that you
must include in accompanying documentation a copy of the license.   It
follows that distributing binaries without any documentation is not
permitted.
