My problem is that our real-time operating system (RTEMS) is somewhere 
in between a full blown Linux and the offload hardware. I would like to 
get rid of stuff which depends on the Newlib struct _reent since this 
pulls in a lot of dependencies. The heavy weight functions are just used 
for the initialization (env.c) and error reporting. Containing the heap 
allocation functions helps to control the memory used by OpenMP 
computations.
