But I don't have control over my customer's system and I want to give
him a package that builds using crosstool.  Scripting up a gcc build
is a pain in the butt, so I was wondering if gcc-3.3.3 actually
requires it.  Seems dumb that 2.96 wouldn't work --- gcc's first stage
compile works on just about any system with a compiler.
