The variant of newlib that targets small systems with limited memory and
other size constraints is commonly called “newlib-nano” on the mailing
lists and in other distributions.  The configure flags also mention
“nano”, as does the documentation, but there’s no separate project for
“newlib nano”.  It’s just newlib with the nano flags.

Okay, I’ll override the synopsis.
