Need sources for libc

[Simon Edelhaus]

Upgrading is not an option due to very short time we have to fix the issue. We are in the critical path. Do you have Newlib that will work with this old RTEMS?

Much obliged!

Urgh, this is a snapshot of an obsolete version of RTEMS having been 
discontinued many years ago.

The sources you are looking for are newlib's sources, but ... the 
version you are trying to use is such kind of outdated and obsolete, 
you'd better upgrade to a more recent version of RTEMS than trying to 
continue.
