I'm pretty sure you'll find that glibc is the only option for linux (but anything
is possible).  I would use glibc first until you get everything working, then try
newlib if it is possible.

You should be able to build gcc without any runtime libs if you are only building
the core components (ie. the C compiler).  If you try builing some of the other
components (Fortran, etc) it will definately barf.  That's my experience with
egcs-1.1.2 anyways.  I also think that some of headers may even be required for the
C compiler build.  I seem to remember having problems with limits.h but I can't
remember if that was for powerpc-eabi or powerpc-linux cross-compilers (or was it
both ?).
