arm support in newlib-1.11.0 and 1.12.0 is broken,

I don't know about your bug above (fpu/soft-float), but AFAICT the arm's
endianness is broken in all released versions of newlib (1.11.0 and
1.12.0).

Generally speaking, such kind of errors (esp. when using a new gcc
release), indicate broken CFLAGS handling in GCC. I haven't built any
arm toolchain recently, so I don't know what might be happening.
