The MSYS package (a fork of Cygwin) uses an older version of newlib for 
it's private msys target, not a mingw32 target.  The msys target is not 
meant for the public to use other than enhancing msys support.  If you 
want a POSIX library for windows, visit www.cygwin.com.

I don't know about subdirectories for mingw32 in newlib.  Perhaps 
someone has done some porting of newlib and submitted patches, that is 
possible and doable.  You won't though have POSIX functionality without 
a lot of work and Cygwin has done that already.
