Adding new target to newlib

[Jens Mehler]

Hi Jeff,

I got it figured out with a lot of patience and reading up on autotools.
The source is in my hands because I am still studying MSC Informatics so 
no worries about that.

The problem (in detail) was that I had the wrong version if autoconf and 
automake installed and therefore couldn't use aclocal and autoconf. 
After fixing that problem all I had to to was running autoconf in all 
directories where configure.in was modified. Additionally I had to use 
autoheaders and automake in my own target directories.

Long story short: It configures and builds :)
Sorry for all that fuzz, it was a really long day.

With best regards,
Jens
