Hello,

I noticed crosstool-0.42 use --with-newlib to build gcc-core which
will be used to build glibc. I wonder why --with-newlib is used since
we are building glibc, not newlib. Who can interpret the  exact
meaning of --with-newlib?

IIRC it is needed for cross compiling GCC upto GCC 3.3.x. It is needed because --without-headers did not work correctly. Setting --with-newlib was a workaround for that GCC bug. The bug is http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8180

HTH
