there's actually more out of crosstool.sh that should be tossed
related to that, but just deleting those two lines fixes that problem,
so that the beginning of the glibc-headers step is now just:

...
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
configure: running configure fragment for add-on nptl
...

  no more linuxthreads crap.  another problem out of the way.  onward.
