Have you considered the obvious solution: Don't do that?
i.e. use a cross compiler from a sane system. If you really want to a native
compiler than I still suggest building it as a canadian cross. My guess is
that getting gcc hosted in a bizarre environment is much easier than getting
the gcc build system working. Trying to bootstrap gcc there seems like a lot
of pain for no real benefit.
