where the rest of the sysroot includes glibc, or not?

does this actually do "the right thing"?  In particular, IIRC (it's
been a few weeks since I looked), glibc links against gcc-built
libraries, so if the ones used to build glibc aren't "right" I
wouldn't trust the glibc build entirely.

currently, I do a multi-pass thing: build gcc, build static glibc,
build gcc, build shared glibc, build final gcc.

gcc first pass:
   configure with:                 
           --enable-languages=c --disable-threads --disable-shared
   make/install with:
           ALL_TARGET_MODULES= CHECK_TARGET_MODULES= INSTALL_TARGET_MODULES=

gcc second pass:
   configure with:                 
           --enable-languages=c --disable-threads --with-sysroot=...
   make/install with:
           ALL_TARGET_MODULES= CHECK_TARGET_MODULES= INSTALL_TARGET_MODULES=

gcc third pass:
   configure with:
                --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 --with-sysroot=$sysroot --enable-threads
   no special make/install args.
