  Agreed.  I don't know if it's a goal of newlib to support strict C89
conformance or not, but I don't see how it could hurt to add a few #ifndef
__STRICT_ANSI__ here and there.

http://sourceware.org/newlib/download.html
gives you the instructions for checking newlib out of CVS to a local
directory.

http://sourceware.org/newlib/README
has generic build instructions.

  To make a patch, build and test your changes, then run "cvs -q -z9 diff -pu
> patchfile" in your checked-out newlib CVS directory.  Please try and keep
your changes in the style of the existing code, and add a changelog entry when
posting them to the list.  (You can find the format for changelog entries by
copying an existing one, or browse the gnu coding standards - although newlib
isn't a gnu project, it uses largely the same style).


    cheers,
