Check this link :) 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/stdio/setbuffer.c?rev=1.5&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

I think it's appropriate to name the file like this one since the newlib
implementation of stdio is borrowed from BSD. The put it in
newlib/libc/stdio.

And I think you'll have to post the patch to the newlib mailing list
too.
