Did you look at the actual differences?

The current FreeBSD <sys/queue.h> is with one exception backward compatible to 
the current Newlib <sys/queue.h>, but has more macros, e.g. TAILQ_SWAP(), 
STAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE(), etc.

FreeBSD removed STAILQ_REMOVE_HEAD_UNTIL() 14 years ago, but we can keep it as 
a Newlib goodie.
