  crt0.o should be a separate file that is built in newlib and gets
installed into /bar/lib/gcc-lib/i386-coff/2.95.3.  Check if it is there
or not.

>is make all install sufficient with newlib?

  It should be, but maybe something went wrong in the install.  Please
check to see if there is crt0.o anywhere in the build_newlib dir, and
take a look at the output during the install stage of "make all install"
to see if it got copied anywhere at all and where it went if it did.

  That should be already happening automatically, because you used the
same --prefix setting for both of them.

Try this command from your first message again, add the '-v' flag so that
we can see all the commands it executes and the directories it checks.
