Title:
  FFe: Sync newlib 2.1.0+git20140818.1a8323b-2 (universe) from Debian
  unstable (main)

Status in “newlib” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Please sync newlib 2.1.0+git20140818.1a8323b-1 (universe) from Debian
  unstable (main)

  Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:

  The current newlib package in Utopic is loosely based on the toolchain
  distributed at [1] by the very ARM employees developping the ARM
  embedded cross-toolchain upstream. In the past months we have worked
  with the maintainers of the Debian package to merge our work in the
  Debian package so that it's as closed as possible to the tarball we
  release.

  [1] https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded

  We believe it would be better for Ubuntu to sync these changes. even at
  this point of the release schedule, as this toolchain has seen much
  wider testing. Indeed, we do lots of internal testing on real boards and
  the number of users of this toolchain outnumbers the number of users of
  the one provided in the current Ubuntu toolchain.

  Changelog entries since current utopic version 2.1.0-6:

  newlib (2.1.0+git20140818.1a8323b-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    * New upstream snapshot:
      + Drop merged patches.
    * Add support for newlib-nano: build size optimized version of newlib and
      ship it alongside the speed optimized one.
