newlib for i386-linux-newlib

[Shaun Jackman]

I'm attempting to configure newlib for --target=i386-linux-newlib.
configure is failing here:

checking for gcc... (cached) i386-linux-newlib-gcc

I know I got farther than this before. The C compiler cannot create
executables because crt0.o is missing, but I haven't built newlib yet,
so this isn't surprising. Any suggestion what's gone wrong here?

i386-linux-newlib isn't a supported target, yet, but I'm hoping to get it there!

Thanks!
