Ok, grabbed your patch and applied.  Is this patch going back into
glibc's tree?

Now my build gest ot the point in glibc where it tries to install
glibc, and in the process it attempts to create librtld.make.o, but
fails miserably since it can't find -lgcc, suprise, suprise: 

ppc-linux-gcc   -nostdlib -nostartfiles -r -o /home/peter/work/cvs-local/xgcc/obj/ppc-linux/ppc-linux-glibc/elf/librtld.map.o '-Wl,-(' /home/peter/work/cvs-local/xgcc/obj/ppc-linux/ppc-linux-glibc/elf/dl-allobjs.os /home/peter/work/cvs-local/xgcc/obj/ppc-linux/ppc-linux-glibc/libc_pic.a -lgcc '-Wl,-)' -Wl,-Map,/home/peter/work/cvs-local/xgcc/obj/ppc-linux/ppc-linux-glibc/elf/librtld.mapT

Now to try your step of installing the glibc headers using my
bare-bones bootstrap compiler and see if that succeeds, then I can go
back, build libgcc in the bootstrap, then build up glibc proper, then
come back to gcc and build a full-up compiler...
