Makes sense.  The GDB build uses a c++ compiler.  If you define strsignal
as above, c++ assumes it's a C++ symbol, so its name gets mangled per
the C++ mangling rules.  Given the symbol is a plain C symbol, you'd
have to specify this explicitely, i. e. 

  extern "C" char *strsignal (int __signo);

Anyway, this needs fixing in the system header.  There's a matching
thread on the newlib mailing list addressing this problem.


Thanks,
Corinna
