The problem with newlib is newlib being very volatile and newlib-2.0.0 
having been a snapshot of what was current then and it *NOT* having been 
stable snapshot.

That said, the version numbers are mostly moot.

What would be required here is a hand-crafted merger with newlib-CVS. 
Unfortunately, this is very tedious, error-prone and requires a lot of time.
