Huh.  That list is actually smaller than I would have expected.

Can't we get all of these from freebsd?

How about scrapping newlib in favor of freebsd libraries?  I have been
suggesting this for years.  Maybe the timing is wrong since we want to
release Cygwin ASAP but it sure would be nice to be in control of 100%
of Cygwin and not have to wander over to newlib whenever we need to make
changes.
