You're not just building the C compiler + libgcc, but also telling
make to build everything it can. In your case, make will also try
to build libiberty for target, and of course that'll fail.

Instead of ``make'', use

  make LANGUAGES=c all-gcc
  make LANGUAGES=c install-gcc

[ LANGUAGES=c is unnecessary since you've only enabled C, but this
  is there for others benefit ]

Use the installed C compiler to build your target runtime, install
it, and *then* return to GCC and make everything.
