I don't know what sources you are using.  newlib is not part of gcc.
It is a separate package.  Depending on what sources you are using,
gcc is distributed with support libraries for C++, Fortran, Java, and
Ada.

You can compile just gcc by using 'make all-gcc'.  To install it, use
'make install-gcc'.
