cannot find the library `sys/linux/liblinux.la'

["newlib at myspectrum dot nl" <newlib at myspectrum dot nl>]

Hi,

I am trying to build gcc + newlib natively on
Linux laptop-xubunutu 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 17:34:21 
UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

This fails however:

/bin/bash ./libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc     
-I/home/jeroen/software/siwi/siwi_toolchain/i686-linux-gnu_build_newlib/i686-linux-gnu/newlib/targ-include 
-I/home/jeroen/software/siwi/siwi_toolchain/newlib/newlib/libc/include  
-g -fno-stack-protector -Xcompiler -nostdlib  -o libc.la   
argz/libargz.la stdlib/libstdlib.la ctype/libctype.la 
search/libsearch.la stdio/libstdio.la stdio64/libstdio64.la  
string/libstring.la signal/libsignal.la time/libtime.la 
locale/liblocale.la reent/libreent.la  errno/liberrno.la misc/libmisc.la 
unix/libunix.la posix/libposix.la  machine/i386/libi386.la 
sys/linux/liblinux.la
libtool: link: cannot find the library `sys/linux/liblinux.la' or 
unhandled argument `sys/linux/liblinux.la'


This seems like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=654257, 
but the patch seems distro dependent.

Is there a newlib patch for this / in progress or am I doing something 
wrong?

Regards,
Jeroen
