newlib nano not installed (or not installed correctly) for arm-none-eabi newlib

[William Westfield]

Installing the cross compiler for ARM microcontrollers with the "obvious" "sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi" command pulls in libnewlib-arm-none-eabi, but apparently the "nano" version is not installed or not installed correctly, so that builds with "--specs=nano.specs" appear to link with the non-nano version of newlib. This is a significant problem when compiling for small ARM microcontrollers, as the clib functions in the non-nano newlib are MUCH larger.

(The same issue has been seen with newer gcc packages...)
