  Could try playing with a few of the more advanced configure options:

  --enable-newlib-reent-small   enable small reentrant struct support
  --enable-newlib-io-pos-args enable printf-family positional arg support
  --enable-newlib-io-long-long   enable long long type support in IO functions
like printf/scanf
  --enable-newlib-io-long-double   enable long double type support in IO
functions printf/scanf
  --enable-newlib-mb        enable multibyte support
  --disable-newlib-atexit-alloc    disable dynamic allocation of atexit
entries
  --enable-newlib-reent-small   enable small reentrant struct support
  --enable-target-optspace  optimize for space
  --disable-newlib-io-float disable printf/scanf family float support
