Yes.  This should not occur.  I just noticed that I checked in a file in 
the wrong location for xc16x...there should be an xc16x.mt file in 
libgloss/config, but it got put into the libgloss/xc16x directory.  Try 
updating from the current repository and rebuilding newlib/libgloss again.

No, you should have built a library there as mentioned above.
