We have talked about this before.  Gcc has to change over to use 
libgloss by default.  Adding libgloss into the specs file would do it in 
conjunction with making non-newlib-supplied-syscalls the default from 
then on.  Adding libgloss back into libc.a is not going to happen.

Yes, keeping the two in sync is a pain, but for the most part, this 
isn't being done.  In this particular case, libc/sys/arm is broken so it 
must be fixed.
