I’m sorry for the delay, but a variant of your patches is now in master
as of 569f60164920a36e6597fe25e9373f97f89e8860.

Since my patches had changed I needed to modify your patches a little to
ensure they can be applied.  I also made a few other changes:

* I kept the newlib packages as variables, not procedures, using
  package inheritance instead to override the value of xgcc.
* The toolchain generator procedure’s name (rather than the version)
  includes “-nano” when appropriate.  The version of the toolchain
  package is just the version of xgcc.
* Added the patches to the list of patches in “gnu/local.mk”

I successfully built the cross-compiler based on GCC 6 after these
changes, so everything should work as intended.

Thanks again for your contributions!
