You only need to put the libgloss and newlib subdirectories
under gcc-XXX. This can be via link (RTEMS RPM specs do it
this way), mv, or copy. The configure gcc with "--with-newlib".
It takes care of the rest.
The top level Makefile's/configure expect them to be called
newlib and libgloss.
NOTE: In a newlib-XXX distribution, I am referring to
the directories newlib-XXX/libgloss and newlib-XXX/newlib.
