Thanks Dan.

Discovered that to build newlib v1.12.0, you need to:

a) from newlib-build/ run:
 ../newlib-1.12.0/newlib/configure --options
rather than:
../newlib-1.12.0/configure --options

and 

b) You need to call 'make all-target-newlib' rather than 'make all'.

So, perhaps an update to the crossgcc faq would be timely?
