The 'cygnus' option was removed from automake 1.13 in 2012, so the
presence of this option prevents that or a later version of automake
being used.
A check-list of the effects of '--cygnus' from the automake 1.12
documentation, and steps taken (where possible) to preserve those
effects (See also this thread [1] for discussion on that):
[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-03/msg00048.html
1. The foreign strictness is implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
2. The options no-installinfo, no-dependencies and no-dist are implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
Future work: Remove no-dependencies and any explicit header dependencies,
and use automatic dependency tracking instead. Are there explicit rules
which are now redundant to removing no-installinfo and no-dist?
3. The macro AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is required.
Already present in newlib/acinclude.m4
Note that maintainer-mode is still disabled by default.
4. Info files are always created in the build directory, and not in the
source directory.
This appears to be an error in the automake documentation describing
'--cygnus' [2]. newlib's info files are generated in the source
directory, and no special steps are needed to keep doing that.
[2] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-04/msg00028.html
5. texinfo.tex is not required if a Texinfo source file is specified.
(The assumption is that the file will be supplied, but in a place that
automake cannot find.)
This effect is overriden by an explicit setting of the TEXINFO_TEX
variable (the directory part of which is fed into texi2X via the
TEXINPUTS environment variable).
6. Certain tools will be searched for in the build tree as well as in the
user's PATH. These tools are runtest, expect, makeinfo and texi2dvi.
For obscure automake reasons, this effect of '--cygnus' is not active
for makeinfo in newlib's configury.
However, there appears to be top-level configury which selects in-tree
runtest, expect and makeinfo, if present. So, if that works as it
appears, this effect is preserved. If not, this may cause problem if
anyone is building those tools in-tree.
This effect is not preserved for texi2dvi. This may cause problems if
anyone is building texinfo in-tree.
If needed, explicit checks for those tools looking in places relative to
$(top_srcdir)/../ as well as in PATH could be added.
7. The check target doesn't depend on all.
This effect is not preseved. The check target now depends on the all
target.
This concern seems somewhat academic given the current state of the
testsuite.
Also note that this doesn't touch libgloss.
So far the build mechanism in newlib only allowed to either define
machine-specific headers, or headers shared between all machines.
In some cases, architectures are sufficiently alike to share header
files between them, but not with other architectures. A good example
is ix86 vs. x86_64, which share certain traits with each other, but
not with other architectures.
Introduce a new configure variable called "shared_machine_dir". This
dir can then be used for headers shared between architectures.

Add support for the AMD GCN GPU architecture. This is primarily intended for
use with OpenMP and OpenACC offloading. It can also be used for stand-alone
programs, but this is intended mostly for testing the compiler and is not
expected to be useful in general.
The GPU architecture is highly parallel, and therefore Newlib must be
configured to use dynamic re-entrancy, and thread-safe malloc.
The only I/O available is a via a shared-memory interface provided by libgomp
and the gcn-run tool included with GCC. At this time this is limited to
stdout, argc/argv, and the return code.
Discard QUICKREF sections, rather than writing them to stderr
Discard MATHREF sections, rather than discarding as an error
Pass NOTES sections through to texinfo, rather than discarding as an error
Don't redirect makedoc stderr to .ref file
Remove makedoc output on error
Remove .ref files from CLEANFILES
Regenerate Makefile.ins

The implementation is mostly from NetBSD, except for switching fgets to
pure inline, and the addition of fgets_unlocked, fread, and fread_unlocked
for parity with glibc. The following functions are also guarded in glibc:
asprintf, dprintf, fprintf, printf, vasprintf, vdprintf, vfprintf, vprintf.

The implementation is from NetBSD, with the addition of mempcpy (a GNU
extension) for parity with glibc and libssp.

The Object Size Checking (-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=*) functionality provides
wrappers around functions suspectible to buffer overflows. While
independent from Stack Smashing Protection (-fstack-protector*), they
are often used and implemented together.
While GCC also provides an implementation in libssp, it is completely
broken (CVE-2016-4973, RHBZ#1324759) and seemingly unfixable, as there
is no reliable way for a preprocessor macro to trigger a link flag.
Therefore, adding this here is necessary to make it work.
Note that this does require building gcc with --disable-libssp and
gcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes.

Compiling with any of the -fstack-protector* flags requires the
__stack_chk_guard data import (which needs to be initialized) and the
__stack_chk_fail{,_local} functions. While GCC's own libssp can provide
these, it is better that we provide these ourselves. The implementation
is custom due to being OS-specific.
