Automerge: [libc++] Add support for picolibc and newlib in RUNTIMES_USE_LIBC (#147956)

voltur01 · ldionne · github-actions[bot] · commit 832e2b0601ee · 2025-12-01T16:17:32.000Z
This replaces detection of picolibc in libc++ (by checking for and including picolibc.h) with using RUNTIMES_USE_LIBC build time option intriduced in llvm/llvm-project#134893 RUNTIMES_USE_LIBC is extended to accept picolibc and newlib. Detection of picolibc via the header is kept as a deprecated feature to avoid breaking builds. libc++ is updated to use dedicated LIBCXX_LIBC_NEWLIB macro to check for newlib specific conditions instead of less informative _NEWLIB_VERSION --------- Co-authored-by: Louis Dionne <ldionne.2@gmail.com>
