I don't have the manual here, but I would suspect, that the switch ``--with-newlib'' simply stands for ``--there-is-a-libc-on-target-and-here-are-the-headers''. The headers are needed to build libgcc.a. The binary and especially the source of the libc is IMHO not necessary. The binary is only needed for the linking stage of the target-executables.
