  Now, rth said:

  Given that, as you have just stated, you want to build a linux system,
why didn't you follow the first part of his advice rather than the
second ?  I don't know if uClinux is some embedded variant, but it
probably still needs glibc rather than newlib.

  This error indicates that the assembler has been confused by DOS style
CRLF line ends when it only allows Unix style LFs.  If you were to convert
all the line ends in the newlib source to LFs, or were to make a cygwin
mount point in text mode for the newlib source and use that path in the
configure command instead, it would work.  When you start building glibc,
remember to do it with a mountpoint!
