Ah, silly me, I meant -static.

Hmm.  Most people in your shoes use newlib, not glibc.  Newlib, I hear,
includes things like itoa without having any nasty references to
an underlying operating system.

'Course, you'll need to add newlib support to the crosstool script to do
that.  It's probably not too hard; somebody else was already interested
in it, maybe they've started.
