[PATCH v2] newlib: libc: return back support for AArch64 ILP32

Replying to this because the v2 post never showed up in my inbox.
I pulled it from the list archives and can report that now there are no
property warnings when linking and all aarch64 BSPs for RTEMS build
and link fine.

I am ok for someone to push it.

Thanks.
