Hi all and happy new year,
I think it makes sense to refer to Newlib 4.5.0 instead of referring
to two specific git commits.
Comments before I commit it?
Actually, due to GCC 15's -std=gnu23, 4.5.0 is recommended
in general as it features:
- fixes for building with gcc-15
besides
- fixes for building with gcc-15
- fixes to powf
...
