Because nobody has written info files for BSD's "plain old C library" - I
think you are confusing it with GNU libc, which FreeBSD does *not*
use and has no plans to use (it's a bloated beast that even the Linux
folks have real problems with right now - I know, I just talked to the
Slackware foks about this).

And if you want to write a set of info docs for the current C library,
be my guest!
