When I run it, I get a directory called src:

	ChangeLog      COPYING3.LIB	 lt~obsolete.m4  move-if-change*
	compile*       COPYING.LIB	 ltoptions.m4	 newlib/
	config/        COPYING.LIBGLOSS  ltsugar.m4	 README
	config.guess*  COPYING.NEWLIB	 ltversion.m4	 README-maintainer-mode
	config-ml.in   CVS/		 MAINTAINERS	 setup.com
	config.rpath*  depcomp*		 Makefile.def	 src-release
	config.sub*    etc/		 Makefile.in	 symlink-tree*
	configure*     install-sh*	 Makefile.tpl	 texinfo/
	configure.ac   libgloss/	 makefile.vms	 ylwrap*
	contrib/       libtool.m4	 missing*
	COPYING        ltgcc.m4		 mkdep*
	COPYING3       ltmain.sh	 mkinstalldirs*

That's what I'd expect from looking at
	http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/CVSROOT/modules?rev=1.75&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
where it says:
	newlib          -a naked-newlib naked-libgloss naked-texinfo src-support

I think it should match what "cvs co newlib" does, as shown above.

Since it does do what I said it did, I'm not sure what else I can say.
