If I understand you correctly, you're saying that the
target runtime libraries are already created by the
cross-compiler in Phase 1, so I don't need to rebuild
them again in Phase 2 along with the crossed-native
compiler - I can get by by just building the compiler.

I don't know much about the internals of GCC, but what
you're saying should be possible though a bit cumbersome.
Building everything in Phase 2 (compiler and libraries)
just gives a nice bundle that I can then redeploy as I
wish (but this is precisely the thing that seems to be
broken, on MinGW at least).

Thanks,
Ranjit.
