Here's your newLib.txt link line:

Notice this fragment:
-lgcc -lgcj_bc -lm
shouldn't be there. -lgcj_bc should only be linked when linking
dynamically. It should be 
-lgcc -lgcj -lm
I guess my fix doesn't work on Windows becasue you don't use the
static-libgcj command, so it assumes dynamic linking. I suppose for a
staticonly build you really need
*lib: -lgcj -lm -lpthread -lrt -ldl %(libgcc) %(liborig)
