You say that it is normal for the dependencies to fail, but if they fail then 
it won't use them and thus won't create the software. As I said, I used GCC as 
my toolchain, but when I do, it fails due to unresolved dependencies and so I 
don't get a software compilation. Do I need to build GCC's toolchain too?

You're not supposed to use the dummy toolchain. The dummy toolchain
defaults to nothing. It's there to build other toolchains.

The dependencies that fail are perfectly normal. You need to use the
GCC (or any other) toolchain for all the software you're compiling.
