GSOC POSIX Compliance: Stuck trying to build Newlib

[Matthew Joyce]

Hi Dr. Joel,

I tried that in newlib/libc and there were at least no errors.
(Nothing leading me to believe it was successful either!)

However I still got the same error when I sudo make install.
(sparc-rtems-ranlib: command not found) (among others!)

Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Matt
