nosys.specs in newlib 2.2.0

[lange@chello.at]

 Hello,

I am trying to use the nosys.specs, but they appear to be adding a library group
instead of replacing the default. This apparently means that some symbols arent
resolved (_kill could not be resolved in one of my projects), I really cant
follow why.

The target "link_gcc_c_sequence" is nothing gcc understands and it should be lib
instead. I suppose the simple solution of renaming it wouldnt work together with
nano.specs.

I get the following output for these commands (test.c consists of an empty main
function):
