Newlib is not-so-newlib; it's been around for ages, and was originally
based on the BSD C library.  (But has mutated lots since; it's reentrant
amongst other things).

Gcc has been crossable for years as well; there's not much new in
what you're planning (check with Greg Leahy to see what is worth the
effort 8).
