Won't that miss grabbing the libgloss support for rtems?  The configure 
stanzas won't see that one.  Here is my configure for newlib-1.7.0-posix 
for the powerpc:

CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O4 -g" \
  ../newlib-1.7.0-posix/configure --verbose --target=powerpc-rtems \
            --program-prefix=powerpc-elf- \
            --prefix=YOUR_INSTALL_DIR

The program prefix is usually necessary because the released gcc does
not have CPU-rtems configurations.
