The --with-newlib option is a badly named option that really means "set
inhibit_libc". That is, it's for an initial bootstrap compiler build,
whatever C library might be in use (and typically there'd be another
compiler build once that actual C library and headers have been installed
using the first bootstrap compiler, with this second compiler build being
the one that should actually be fully configured for the C library in
use). So it might not be a good idea to make it do anything specific to
newlib.
