Newlib port to Cell BE - SPE

[Andreas Neukoetter <TI95NEUK at de dot ibm dot com>]

Hi,

attached you will find a vanilla port of newlib to the Cell Broadband
Engine SPE.
The license is BSD style and I have approval from our legal department to
send out this patch.

The first patch just enables the new target. I will make sure this gets
into upstream config asap.

The second patch is a vanilla enablement (libgloss, memcpy and
setjmp/longjmp).
It simply maps libgloss calls to the JSRE defined interface for PPE
assisted library calls.

I'd be glad to get any feedback.

I know this applies to 1.12, but Jeff already agreed to help me get this
work with autoconf.
