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).
