Looks good. Congrats.

Don't forget to run a "make install" in the toplevel newlib work
directory, (the one in which you called ../newlib-x.x.x/configure). This
run transfers the relevant end results of your nightly compile run into
the installation directory. Otherwise, your target app Makefile will
not find the libs and include files. You have specified the install path
with the --prefix option (or left the default /usr/local), and that is
merged into the Makefiles in the work tree.

After that, you are free to cleanup (purge) the build tree, and recover
some MB disk space, for example run a "make clean". But wait, you still
have to add libgloss support for your particular target board....

Now you know why your Makefile is that long: it contains these
informations.
