Yes, but currently only when target_os = "nacl", ie when one has targeted
le32-unknown-nacl (otherwise it's just a matter of using --cfg
"target_libc=\"newlib\""). I should note however, libuv is for the most
part unable to use Newlib (last time I tried, it was a mess, even after
much effort on my part to remove uses of glibc only functions). In fact, it
is this reason libuv is disabled for PNaCl.
