We must have the lib build process be self contained. Letting installed
header files (or libs) leak through into the library build process is
a bad idea. There are not too many places that use gcc-uclibc, so perhaps
the best thing is to create a --build-dir-only type of config option so
that we can ensure things are self-contained.
