The cross-patch provides code that replaces some math stuff. This makes it
possible to provide a null libgcc.a. This code isn't available for SCO,
so I'm getting a libgcc1.a generated on an SCO box (GNU's info file has
information on this).

This is only valid for some hosts.

I'm following this order:
1) get from the FSF gcc-2.7.2.1.tar.gz, untar, etc
2) Apply the crossgcc patch

You shouldn't have problems with this, and it seems to build fine (isn't
finished yet).
3) If you want adventure you can apply 2.7.2.1-2.7.2.2.diff : If you are
lucky, you will get only one reject (in the top Makefile). Look at *.rej
and apply the diff by hand. Now you're on your own.
