Re: [PATCH] arm: do not abort EABI check for bootstrapping

Not to build the compiler itself or other host tools, only to build the
target libraries.

Just 'make all-gcc'.  It's only things in the 'all-target-*' makefile
targets that need target C library headers.

In the beforetime, the long long ago, the build of libgcc was intertwined
directly with the compiler build.  But for several versions now (all that
we support for building libc, I'm pretty sure), it's just a normal target
library like all the others (libstdc++ et al) in the build system.
