This is a copy of a message sent privately to Steve, only this version
does not include the following attachments:
gcc-toplevel-changelog-fragment
src-toplevel-changelog-fragment
newlib-libtool-update.changelog.bz2
add-to-toplevel.tar.gz
newlib-libtool-update.patch.bz2
Mainly because newlib-libtool-update.patch.bz2, even compressed, is
360k. Hopefully Steve will be able to integrate these with his changes
and post the whole thing.

I think you should post the entire combined patch. My piece is
attached, but there are a few things you need to do, in additional to
your changes, and in addition to incorporating the patch:
in the gcc tree
(1) add 'compile' from automake-1.9 to toplevel (I've put a copy in the
attached 'add-to-toplevel.tar.gz' file)
in the src tree
(1) add 'compile' from automake-1.9 to toplevel
(2) remove newlib/libtool.m4
(3) apply the attached patch at the newlib/ level.
And, of course, revise and extend your ChangeLog entries for
gcc-toplevel, src-toplevel, and src-newlib. (See attached)
With the addition of a patch to fix a separate, recently-introduced
problem: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/newlib/2007/msg00558.html , I obtained
the following results:
On cygwin-native, I successfully built a new cygwin kernel with its
internal newlib. The build process did NOT create any libtool scripts,
nor did configure run any of the libtool-related tests (except for the
SED one).
On linux-native, I successfully built a shared newlib library, and the
build process did create and use several libtool scripts.
