I have no particular opinion about this one change and it's up to Joseph to
approve it or not. But it seems quite fragile to tweak individual checks
like this to support some arcane configure-sort-of-works case. I don't
understand the scenario you are trying to support. I've never heard of
doing any step with libc without having a compiler at all. The way I'm
familiar with going about bootstrapping is to do just all-gcc and
install-gcc first, and then build libc.
