A) I don't suppose there's an easy way to centralize all the libc dependencies 
into a compiler.h header file, somewhere?

B) If newlib is lying and claiming to be glibc, yet doesn't work like glibc 
for something that we care about, why isn't it newlib that's broken?

C) Half this patch is whitespace noise adding spaces between the # and the 
preprocessor directive (which I personally consider a regression, and would 
have applied a patch to _undo_.  But that's just me...)
