hi,
I am using newlib 1.17.0 for an ARM 7 project. However,there are a number of
functions in newlib that are not relevant to my project eg.printf(),scanf()
etc.
I therefore wish to cut down the library size by removing these functions. I am
aware writing the appropriate rules in the Makefile will do my job. But,being
new to Makefiles, I don't exactly know what rules to write.
Is there a readymade Makefile available so that I can take some hints on what
rules to write?
Or, if anyone has done such a thing before can you please get me
started?Referring a site you may know will also be great.
Thank you in anticipation.

Before you learn about Makefiles, read how libraries work !
Frankly, it just a bundle of single files. And if you do not printf in
your code it is completely irrelevant if it is in the library or not.
