Hello,

I looked into this failure.  There are two issues.  The simpler issue is
that the i960-elf gcc port doesn't support the "section" attribute that
appears in the ELF-specific section of libgloss/libnosys/warning.h. 
This is easy to workaround.  However, the larger issue is that in
newlib, "as" fails with an internal error while assembling vfprintf.s
(generated by compiling newlib/libc/stdio/vfprintf.c).  I've submitted a
bug report to bug-binutils@gnu.org.

I'll hold off committing a workaround for the libgloss problem until I
can properly test it with newlib.

Tom
