I have contacted the newlib maintainer about the patch, thanks for the
contact point. I have some legal issues with the licensing to work with
cygwin but once its done, will I have to offer a patch to cygwin.din file or
someone from cygwin will take care of it?

It makes sense. How do I generate the lib without the debug symbols then?

Thank you very much for the explanations cgf!
