That alone will likely not work.  gcc is just the compiler, it does not
include the C library.  In order to build a working cross-compiler you
first need C headers and libraries for the target, and you need to
instruct the configure script where to find them with --with-headers and
--with-libs or alternatively --with-sysroot.
