Have you seen what functionality avr-libc provides?
Why would you want to port from avr-libc to newlib?
What would newlib gain you that avr-libc is lacking?
Did you know that at least one of the members of the GCC 
Steering Committee acknowledges that avr-libc is the 
Standard C Library that goes with the AVR port of GCC?
Did you know that avr-libc (for that matter the whole open 
source AVR toolset) is known to work on 5 operating 
systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and Solaris and 
possibly working on Mac OSX?
Have you seen all the different targets that avr-libc 
supports?
