The nvptx port has been merged into newlib, so the Mentor Embedded
github repository is no longer needed. While we're still maintaining the
github mirror, given the stability of the nvptx port, going forward I
expect all of the development to occur in the upstream newlib repository
directly.
This patch updates the install documentation to point the the upstream
newlib sources instead of the Mentor Embedded github mirror. I don't see
tarballs for any point releases on newlib's website, so I added a
reference to the git revision containing nvptx port.
Is this OK for trunk?
Thanks,
Cesar
