Hi, When compiling GCC for targets like nvptx-none that require newlib, we need to put newlib-cygwin/newlib in the root directory of the source tree (either a copy or a symlink), which is then built by GCC when targeting offload devices like the above. Changes made in newlib shouldn't affect GCC, so I think we should include newlib in this case.
