Ummmm, why not have the develoeprs run it in maintiner-mode, and just
distribute the newlib stuff to regular users?

I tremble in fear about running the M4 thing as part of a normal
user's build since it seems like another thing which can go wrong.

Another reason to have the developers run the M4 processor, and not
the users.
