Is it Dreamcast specific, or for hardware?

newlib is a C run-time library for standalone applications running on 
bare hardware.  It is maintained by Red Hat (the group that was 
formerly Cygnus).  Cygnus originally distributed it with their GNU 
toolchain.

If you're running NetBSD on your Dreamcast, you have no need for 
newlib,.
