Under Mingw32 (using MS's C run time library) you can use _open_osfhandle to do this (I think). Since, under it all, newlib is probably using Win32 handles to access files it should be possible to write the equivalent function for newlib, though it might require a fair bit of work (and the ability to recompile newlib from source).
