# Trick to build a gcc that is capable of emitting shared libraries *without* having the

# crt{i,n}.o are the first and last (respectively) object file
# linked when producing an executable. Traditionally these
# files are delivered as part of the C library, but on GNU
# systems they are in fact built by GCC. Since libgcc needs to
# build before glibc, we can't wait for them to be copied by
# glibc. At this early pre-glibc stage these files sometimes
# have different names.

# On PowerPC we add `-mnewlib`, which means "libc has not been
# built yet". This causes libgcc's Makefile to use the

# versions which have been repackaged in libc as `crt{n,i}.o`
