It seems that inhibt_libc still gets set even if I build gcc for a second time using --with-headers, because $target_header_dir/stdio.h does not exist, as $target_header_dir is target/sys-include, rather than target/include (and target/sys-include is only created if --with-headers=dir had been used for the first gcc build, but we can't do that because that creates a empty newlib.h file in there).

If for the second build of gcc, I pass --with-headers=/path/to/target/include instead of just --with-headers then inhibit_lib gets set to false as I want, but gcc/configure copies all of target/include to target/sys-include, which isn't ideal as I then have duplicate directories and any subsequent updates to target/include are hidden as target/sys-include is at the head of gcc's search path.

Deleting target/sys-include after it's built is a possibility, but seems a bit hacky. Should the test for ! -f "$target_header_dir/stdio.h" be changed/omitted instead? Is there a better procedure to build the libraries?

Cheers,
Jon
