It's pretty hard; basically the debugging information for the 
fixincluded headers shows up as comparison failures, if you try to do 
anything like that.

I'd like to fix this after Dan's toplevel libgcc goes in.  It would be a 
big improvement in general, for example you could do two `make check' 
runs for two different stages at the same time, or just run make in 
stageN-gcc.

For now, if you are logging the compilation process (e.g. with nohup), 
you can grep it for ^Configuring.
