I regret not having vetoed earlier, sorry ;)

It escapes me which issue Joel is trying to address with these stubs, 
because these symbols are provided by rtems and are not provided nor 
used by newlib.

Background: The original rationale for the stubs is to make newlib 
selfcontained i.e. to provide sufficient symbols such that all symbols 
from newlib can be resolved from inside of newlib. This is sufficient to 
compile RTEMS itself.

All external packages built upon newlib+rtems are supposed to receive 
all symbols from linking agains "newlib+rtems".

With this patch applied, there is no clear distinction between "pure 
newlib" and "newlib + rtems" anymore.
