multiple defined symbols when linking with newlib on mingw32

When linking with libc of newlib-1.11.0, the following link errors 
indicating multiple definitions of symbols occurs.

I suppose there could be a conflict between mingw libraries, and newlib, 
but the output from the linker seems to indicate
that the multiple definitions are within the newlib source.

If someone knows why, I'd appreciate the input.  Otherwise, I'll poke 
through the code some more.


Here's the details:
