Error compiling newlib-1.13.0

[Jeff Johnston]

Derick,

   Newlib plays a bit of a balancing act when building natively under 
Linux.  It uses some of newlib's header files and some of the native 
header files.  I have run into a number of problems as glibc has been 
updated and also some problems as gcc has updated to gcc4.

   Anyway, I recently made a set of patches to the tree to support 
building on FC4.  Could you try checking out the CVS tree to see if that 
fixes your problems.  I don't have Gentoo and have never tried it so 
you're partly in unchartered territory.
