Correct. That's what I was referring to above.

This question is: Which license will your toolchain be under and which license
will the binaries compiled/linked against your newlib be under?

As newlib linked binaries are statically linked, and if not applying the
"runtime vs. source tarball" license separation, but using the "GPL umbrella", 
your toolchain and all compiled binaries automatically are GPLv3'ed (rsp. the
sources required to be GPLv3 compatible).
