libgcc1.a is to become part of libgcc.a, and it contains the
implementation of some operations that aren't available in the
hardware and that GCC doesn't know how to implement by itself.
libgcc2.a contains those that aren't available in the hardware but for
which there are standard implementations available, plus any utility
functions that will eventually become part of libgcc.a.

So, if you're building a cross compiler and GCC says you must provide
libgcc1.a, then the only way round is to use an existing compiler for
that platform to create libgcc1.a.
