Public bug reported:
Installing the cross compiler for ARM microcontrollers with the
"obvious" "sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi" command pulls in
libnewlib-arm-none-eabi, but apparently the "nano" version is not
installed or not installed correctly, so that builds with "--
specs=nano.specs" appear to link with the non-nano version of newlib.
This is a significant problem when compiling for small ARM
microcontrollers, as the clib functions in the non-nano newlib are MUCH
larger.
(The same issue has been seen with newer gcc packages...)
