Does gcc even necessarily have the system headers available to it on a clean 
system during a build?   I don't think so...which means that gcc may not know 
about the system headers when it runs through the stage of installation...

In other words, for it to even work with the system headers, the system 
headers have to be installed correctly before you do the first make install-gcc 
during a bootstrap... 

(and I know the one howto build doc says install the headers first, but 
unfortunately building the toolchain does not fail if you do NOT do this...)
