I find the abstract machine to be quite a neat abstraction, but I am also more of a C guy.
Looking here:

One of required headers in freestanding, <cstdlib>, is labelled "C standard library", but it is not <stdlib.h> Something similar with other <csomething> headers.
This kinda implies C library is required, if I read it correctly, but maybe someone else can correct me: https://eel.is/c++draft/library.c
