I'm not sure what you mean.

The documentation I was writing was for libgloss, not for newlib.  (In
fact, one bit of porting.texi that is wrong, as I understand the current
thinking about best practices, is that it seems to suggest that crt0.S
and such should be written as part of newlib, when, in fact, they should
be part of libgloss.

So, I bet I'm not getting what it is that you're suggesting. :-)
