Hi Daniel,
It seems to me this version newlib is configured with
"--enable-newlib-suppiled-syscalls",
that's why it contains `_read ' in libg.a(lib_a-syscalls.o).
IMHO, you could build newlib by yourself with this tool-chain,
configuring with option "--disable-newlib-supplied-syscalls".
Then check the link command line and link scripts, make sure they do
not specify libgloss libraries, such as librdimon/librdpmon, etc.

Thanks
