Hmm, does it really need libgcc?

The trouble is that you need glibc-intermediate to build gcc-cross
(which builds a functional libgcc). You therefore can't short circuit
this as much as you think :/.

This is easier since we would just add lib32-gcc and lib-gcc to the
sysroot. It then becomes a case of just ensuring gcc is configured
correctly.
