This was ~ 3 years ago, but I seem to recall having problems when
configuring one toolchain configured with --enable-cheaders=c and
another configured with --enable-cheaders=c_std with the same $prefix.
I seem to recall having to use separate install prefixes.

If I'm not misremembering, the files aren't target independent at all.
