running dejagnu tests against newlib 1.17.0

[Alan Lehotsky]

With a port of binutils and gcc to a new machine, I've got what appears to be a 
working newlib.   But attempting to run
dejagnu tests on newlib doesn't go anywhere.

I have done a 'default' configuration of newlib, so I expect that the iconv 
support is not there; but the errors that are being reported don't make any 
sense to me.  I've run with a RUNTESTFLAGS='-v -v -v -v' without seeing 
anything more obvious than what shows with the minimal files.  My local config 
is good enough that I pass 45k+ gcc tests, plus all the binutils, gas, ld, and 
sim tests.

Anything stick out for anyone else here?
