It seems unlikely.

That seems reasonable in principle.  They should be added to
skipdirs.  Ideally the condition expressing when inhibit_libc should
be set should be done in a single place, and then somehow communicated
to other places.

In the current inhibit_libc condition I don't understand the
interaction between --with-newlib and --with-headers.  If newlib is
available, inhibit_libc normally should not be defined.
