ARM Cortex-M3

I am building a RTEMS port to an STM32 Cortex-M3.  I am building the port for RTEMS version 4.9.  I have built binutils-2.18 and gcc-4.3.2 with thumb2 support (I had to change t-rtems under GCC to output thumb2 multilib).  When configuring RTEMS, the configure script cannot find newlib.  Looking at config.log, I get the following error when checking for newlib:

configure:4709: checking for RTEMS newlib
configure:4736: arm-rtems-gcc --pipe -o conftest -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb -mstructure-size-boundary=8 -O0 -g   conftest.c  >&5

It looks like configure is looking in the "gcc-4.3.2/arm-rtems/lib" directory to determine a valid newlib library.  The thumb2 newlib library is under "gcc-4.3.2/arm-rtems/lib/thumb/thumb2".  How should I go about correcting this issue?  Is this even the issue or is it something else?
