ive been told it's required for *all* linux targets, but i havent been able to 
get any specific details

vanilla gcc will fail to build for many targets even with --without-headers, 
but ive take the hard route and patched up gcc in Gentoo so it works for all 
linux targets (except ia64, but that requires libunwind bs i havent gotten 
around to yet)

no idea but i'd guess that it shouldnt have an affect ... maybe Dan would know 
better though
