Building gcc

Hi there,

I'm building a complete GNU/Linux system from scratch. The first turn,
building everything needed statically linked went fine. Now I'll need to
make the static build.

During the static build there were already several include files
installed. The glibc docs say to remove everything in ``/usr/include''.
Can I remove this ( or better initialize it containing only the kernel
headers ) before the build, if everything is static?

What are theese ``usr/include/g++-v3/'' and
``/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.0.1/include'' -things. Can ( or
should ) I remove theese too?

Oh, before I forget ... will I be able to build everything with 3.0.x?
It is reported, that ( at least glibc ) things cannot be built with it.
I got a reply, that there is a patch for 2.95.3 to proper compile glibc,
but nobody can tell me WHERE it is.

Thanks for any help
Frank
