I did build newlib successfully on an i686-pc-linux-gnu host for an
i686-pc-cygwin target, but I didn't build winsup as an additional
check.  I'll do that in the future.

vfiprintf.o was also not being compiled with these options.  I had to
rearrange the order in which these objects were built because of how
libtool handles multiple object files compiled from the same source
file.  In doing so, I forgot to put $(INCLUDES) on the compile line.

This should be fixed now.
