Please see

       http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html

at the bottom where it says:

Some options which only apply to building cross compilers: 

--with-headers=dir -- Specifies a directory which has target include
     files. This options is required when building a cross compiler,
     if ${prefix}/${target}/sys-include doesn't pre-exist. These
     include files will be copied into the gcc install
     directory. Fixincludes will be run on these files to make them
     compatible with gcc.
     
--with-libs="dir1 dir2 ... dirN" -- Specifies a list of directories
     which contain the target runtime libraries. These libraries will
     be copied into the gcc install directory.

--with-newlib -- Specifies that "newlib" is being used as the
     target C library. This causes __eprintf to be omitted from
     libgcc.a on the assumption that it will be provided by newlib.
