Summary:                    Cannot build gcc-4.3.2 under a buildroot rootfs
Description: 
I have been unable to build gcc under any buildroot-generated rootfs for
many months now.  I mimic most of the options listed under "gcc -v" and I
manually made the symlink /lib/cpp -> /usr/bin/cpp to correct an error,
but for some reason there are complaints about GNU header files in
config.log and I am unable to build gcc at all.  This is using the latest
snapshot of buildroot and the latest snapshot of uClibc, along with most
of the programs under "Generic development system."  I have stuck with
defaults throughout the entire process to attempt to minimize the
possibility of this happening; no matter how I change the buildroot,
uClibc, or gcc configuration, I am NEVER EVER able to compile gcc-4.3.x
under ANY buildroot rootfs whatsoever.

In short, a buildroot rootfs can't self-host!
