The latest gcc snapshots seem to be doing a lot better with the
-Dinhibit_libc feature.  If you use:

$ ./configure ... --without-headers --with-newlib

for ANY target, gcc won't complain.  The --with-newlib doesn't mean that
you HAVE to compile newlib in the future, it's just a hint to gcc that you
could be.

BTW, the --without-libs flag isn't necessary.
