To clarify:
This is not a clarification, it is your opinion. It is an opinion
with which many disagree.
It is my opinion, and that of others, that sh-linux-gnu-gcc should not
require a multilibbed glibc to be installed. This has been repeated
many times, by myself and by others.

I have built the compiler by removing some of the multilibs. I think
I already said that.
