Because glibc is complicated enough as it is, and using newlib helps
remove the doubt that comes with a broken build cobbled together from
hand-placed headers.  Yes, it burns a ton of (possibly needless) CPU
cycles, but when something breaks, you don't have to worry so much
about if it is something you screwed up with your 'cp' and 'find'
procedure.

I'm starting on updates to CrossGCC FAQ next week, now that I've
almost caught up from being away from the office for two weeks.  I'm
hoping to answer some of the questions like this that keep coming up
over and over again.
