Okay.

      In the case of missing gettimeofday() and times() functions, the newlib stub
      functions should set ENOSYS.  Do they use the -1 to detect this?

   ah, i should probably also add a call:
   	set_error_result(newlib::eNoSys);
   then?

Yes.

   actually, the entire gloss32 component has no testsuite at all.  :-(
   (parts of the hardware specific ones do, but that is it.)

How did this happen?  Which heathen wrote it? :-)
