For a variety of reasons, it would be best if we could force the first stage
to build with options that make libiberty and other files linkable with
stage2 and later builds.

This is actually the host/target issues all over again -- during stage2 we
want to use what we have traditionally called the "target" libraries.  It
just happens to be the case that host & target libraries are the same for
most native builds.

I'm not sure what the best solution would be.
