newlib 1.16 pointed out that we had a couple of calls which
did not match the POSIX spec.  They got fixed and this broke
things.

We need to figure out how to disable the newlib __assert.
On 4.9 builds, it it being used instead of the one in
RTEMS.  This negatively impacts code size because printf()
comes in again. :(
