Are these in $PREFIX/share/gEDA/scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm

Mine has:

(define m4-command "/usr/bin/m4")
(define m4-pcbdir "/home/pcjc2/geda/share/pcb/m4")
(define m4-pcbconfdir "/home/pcjc2/geda/etc/pcb")
(define m4-files "")

Perhaps a temporary solution / workaround is to edit this file.

I don't see any references to newlib in there, so perhaps that is
hardcoded in the source (I haven't looked). I do recall it being
mentioned that newlib does pass through M4 at some stage, just no macros
get expanded. Perhaps that is just PCB internal footprint instanciation
though.
