Newlib on Sparc64?

[Yihan Pang <pyihan1 at vt dot edu>]

Hi All,

I am trying to use newlib on a SPARC S7 server that is running Oracle
Linux 6 OS. However, when I finished running the configuring script,
and execute the make command, it print out nothing to be done for all,
all-target. I checked the newlib folders and there is a sparc folder
under newlib/libc/machine/ so I assumed I don't need to port it
manually.

My question is does newlib currently support sparc64 or not, if so do
I have to manually port it?

Below is my configure script output and make command output
