Given that the Nut/OS only has cooperative threads, not preemptive
threads, then it already is reentrant :)

On the other hand, one easy way might be protect it with
NutEnterCritical/NutLeaveCritical. Probably not the most eficient way,
but should work.

Do you really need to build reentrant newlib? As I mentioned above, it
doesn't make much sense in Nut/OS right now.
