note the _glibc suffix.

it just calls write() and returns. There are numerous use-cases where
you just don't need stdio. Think of e.g. some network-service on
something like http://www.picotux.com/ or other stuff where you don't
have to directly pretty-print to a user. Simplest useful use-case is
a static write(1,"works\n", 6) program run as init=/xyz. You get the
idea..

Just because something is broken doesn't mean that it should not be
fixed ;)
