Can't blame anyone but me for j-newlib. It is attached.

I developed j-newlib to speed up the cycle when modifying newlib.
I don't build every target with it. That's the job of the RTEMS
Source Builder. I use it to build a **SINGLE** target and test
a change to newlib.

Once I get the patch tested and into shape, I submit it upstream
and add it to the RSB.

NOTE: j-newlib may be using --disable-multilib which is wrong
in general but OK for testing on sparc-rtems with erc32. But since
most of newlib is in C, that's enough testing to have confidence
in most cases that it is time to move on to integrating the patch
into the RSB and upstream newlib.

That's the full path that must be done. j-newlib just makes it
quicker to iterate on debugging newlib.
