I suppose one way you could build a gcc that uses very little from glibc would be to first build a cross-compiler which uses newlib, and then use that cross-compiler to build gcc. I'm sure you would run into a number of hurdles, but I expect they could be overcome with effort. More generally: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ Ian
