Re: newlib installation problem on cygwin (assembler error msg: read ing.open : No such file)

These are quite old versions.  Binutils for example is now at version
2.13.  I would recommend updating to this version.

This is nothing to worry about.  The ARM port does not use libgloss.

This is a strange error message.  If upgrading to the latest version
of binutils does not fix the problem, trying going into the stdlib
directory and running make there.  You should then be able to capture
the entire gcc command line and rerun it, adding the -v switch.  This
will show the command line being used to invoke GAS, and you can
check this to see if anything looks suspicious.
