libc/newlib: update fetch location

The menu system provides an option to allow a user to request newlib
version 2.0.0. newlib-2.0.0, however, is not available at the download
location currently being used. It is, however, available (as are other
supported versions of newlib) at an alternate location.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     3 
     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
