Hints on compiling Newlib

[Ian Seyler]

I tried the exact same steps I was using before on Arch Linux (another
64-bit VM) and it worked correctly.

During the compile it was not inserting "-m32" into the compile
commands. Any ideas why this would be happening or where I can remove
it from? I have no idea where it is pulling that argument from.

I ended up creating the files needed to define my OS so I could also do this:
../newlib-1.19.0/configure --target=x86_64-pc-baremetal

Looks like everything is working well. I compiled a simple "Hello
world" example using printf() and got the expected results.

Thanks,
-Ian
