 There are hints for these things in the gcc's INSTALL (Building a
cross-compiler)...  You can have a dummy libgcc1.a, so it will not
make it.

 More hints can be found at ftp.cygnus.com, /pub/embedded (or
something like that), in the document "Embed with GNU" by Rob Savoye.
This is a texinfo-document.

 Just get the Cygnus document and look the gcc's INSTALL, I think
these could help a lot...
