littlegcc is just a c compiler used to build newlib which is required
to build libstdc++v3 in the fourth step. In the fourth step when
building 'gcc', '--enable-languages=c,c++' forces a c++ compiler to be
built which is used to build libstc++v3(also in the fourth step).
I hope that makes it just the faintest bit clearer :-)
