Why does libiberty have to build before a C library?

Neither glibc or newlib are the problme.  The problem is that gcc
needs headers to build libgcc that newlib or glibc have to supply.
You can see how the chicken and egg problem starts since glibc needs a
compiler to configure to a point to install headers....
