I have never had any problem with building a cross compiler with gcc 2.8
and even older versions.

But it doesn't work, it's even worse now: I have moved the header to
$(tooldir)/sys-include, and now even when building libgcc2.a they are not
found any more.  Which is no wonder, since $(libsubdir) does not exist
yet.  So what next???
