HI Craig,

Attach are some minor patches for our two branches.  The topmost newlib 
patch just eliminates the final 'clean' output so check-lib test results 
aren't buried.

I finally tracked down the error that required 'make check -i'.

If there is a '+' character in the repository path the following 
testsuite Makefile line will fail:

      srcdir='$(srcdir)'; export srcdir

So I've revised my all my development directory names and supporting 
scripts to avoid that '+' character and am now able to do a 'make check' 
without the -i switch.

Regards,

Jim
