Correct usage of nosys

[Niklas Dusenlund]

Hi!

I'm compiling for ARM cortex-m0. When I enable the nosys specs I get the
following warnings:

```
/usr/local/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/13.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld:
/usr/local/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/13.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/lib/libc_nano.a(libc_a-fstatr.o):

always fail

isattyr.c:(.text._isatty_r+0x18): warning: _isatty is not implemented and

```

I have no intention of using fstat or isatty. But if I implement the
missing functions like this:

```
int _fstat(int fildes, struct stat *st) {
  errno = ENOSYS;
  return -1;
}
int _isatty(int file) { return -1; }
```

I get the following errors:

```
/usr/local/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/13.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld:
/usr/local/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/13.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/lib/libc_nano.a(libc_a-isattyr.o):
in function `_isatty_r':
isattyr.c:(.text._isatty_r+0x18): undefined reference to `_isatty'
/usr/local/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/13.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld:

in function `_fstat_r':
fstatr.c:(.text._fstat_r+0x1c): undefined reference to `_fstat'
```

If I remove the nosys specs I also get undefined references to _exit and
_sbrk.

In older versions of newlib I could use nano+nosys without warnings. What
is the appropriate way with the latest newlib? If I need to link in my own
stubs, how do I actually do that?
