I am thinking of using newlib with an embedded linux project myself. I am just starting with an embedded linux/ppc project. I grabbed the tools and the onetree.sh script from cygnus for newlib/gcc/binutils and they built OK.
After you do the configure, take a look at build/powerpc-linux/libgloss/rs600/Makefile. The linux stuff is all commented out for libgloss. If you uncomment the linux stuff, you will find two depenencies that can't be satisified. lin-cfuncs.o and lin-syscall.o. I think we could use the files sol-cfuncs.c and sol-syscalls.c as examples and tweak them for Linux. I'll let you know if/when I get it working. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
