I hacked my way past this by creating empty crti.o, crtn.o, and libc.a
files, and a dummy crt1.o, which defined a _start symbol. This was
enough to pass the autoconf check for a working C compiler.

When building newlib using a compiler that does not yet have a libc,
how is this supposed to work?

Thanks!
