Build help

[Garrett Battaglia]

I am currently trying to port newlib to the OS I'm writing and I'm
having some difficulty. I followed this guide
http://wiki.osdev.org/Porting_Newlib and when go to compile it, it
ends in an error. if it helps I'm on Arch Linux on an x64 machine. Any
help would be appreciated.

error message:
