Doug,

  The documentation in the header file is out of date.  It should actually be
referring to configure.host (top-level newlib directory).  Instead of target_cflags,
it should refer to newlib_cflags (also found in configure.host).  I will be posting a patch shortly.

  Regarding your error when rebuilding, can you provide more details please.
