Is there any way to build gcc partially so it stops (successfully)
after building the compilers, so I can run off and build glibc then
come back? Or do I need to have my makefile/scripts detect the failure
and build glibc and then continue.

Right now I'm just using Android as a test target to verify that I can
build a cross compiler, later down the road I'll work on actually
making the correct environment (Bionic) to run on Android.
