The GCC libraries such as libgcc_s.a, libgcc.a are part of the source
tree we build every time. So, we first build these gcc related
libraries and then use the -B incantations in the cflags. Does direct
mode take into consideration compiler flags for hashing purposes ? We
can workaround -B problem by specifying GCC_EXEC_PREFIX, however I'm
not sure if we have to convert -iprefix to relative paths when basedir
is set ?
