Well, obviously you still fail to get the basics here.

If you use a library, know the assumptions it makes. For Newlib, you provide a predefined set of functions (not necessarily syscalls!) in a library named "libgloss" and the package itself provides the rest. If you find those assumptions unacceptable, either fix the package or find something else.

The same goes for libgcc and any other lib you want to port.
