GCC linking and compiling error for Cortex-M3 Microcontroller because of Newlib

[deut3892 <deut831 at hotmail dot com>]

Hello,

Please forgive me if my post is in an incorrect place. This seems to be the
most appropriate place for it since it is about gcc.

I have followed the instructions here:
http://johannes-bauer.com/mcus/cortex/

Basically, I have setup the gcc cross compiler in Ubuntu 10.10 for the
Cortex-M3 compiler. I've also added GDB and eclipse. Compilation of a simple
hello world program works just fine, but when I need to compile more
advanced programs that use malloc and other features that are part of newlib
fails.

Newlib was compiled as:
newlib-1.18.0/configure --target=${BLD_TARGET} --prefix=${BLD_PREFIX}
--disable-multilib --disable-newlib-supplied-syscalls --disable-interwork

therefore, my understanding is I have to supply my own newlib. When I am
compiling and linking I get the following errors:

/home/ops/bin/arm-elf/lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.4.3/../../../../arm-elf/lib/libc.a(lib_a-sbrkr.o):

How would I got about resolving this? Should I change the newlib
configuration before I compile and recompile?
I know that I need to add stubs and I've tried adding them from the
codesourcery g++ lite library. However, it gave me many errors about the use
of asm:
syscalls.c:81: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__'
before 'asm'

The syscalls I use is similar or the same as the one in:
http://newlib.sourcearchive.com/documentation/1.14.0-1/libgloss_2arm_2syscalls_8c-source.html

I'd be appreciative of any help. Being my first time really compiling gcc
from scratch, I would hope I can make good use of it.
