I have a perfectly working setup to do this. It relies on the ability
to build a minimal gcc for only C support without the presence of a
target libc. I consider that a perfectly reasonable requirement; don't

I've actually got a couple other patches floating around necessary for
this, mostly to fix problems introduced in the DWARF2 unwinder.
