  What files ? Typically libgloss is only there to support newlib. You
don't really have to do anything at all to newlib to get things running.
What architecture are you porting for ? Is it to a supported processor,
but a new target board ?

  One of these days I'll rewrite the porting manual, but at this point
it'd nothing more than a braindump. Many things have been improved in
libgloss, but the manual hasn't been updated at all.

  In the linker script, usually. You can also set it in the crt0.S, but
the linker script is better. Probably the best example to use is the m68k
port, or the rs6000 one.
