Needs a little debugging, then.  A little set -x and a few echos
will probably show what the problem is.  Also, maybe we
should disable just the setting of critic_missing, or
clear it afterwards, rather than trying to disable the whole
version check....

Right, nevermind, I was wrong to suggest using the system's copy.

Oh. I guess stddef.h is created when gcc is installed,
but gcc isn't installed yet at that point.  Great,
one more circular dependency.  Thanks, Ulrich!

Your fix was probably too rough; I suspect we only want to
mess with the initial header install.  (I jumped through
a few hoops already here with gcc-2.3.2, see the comments in crosstool.sh.)
Maybe simply touching stddef.h somewhere would do it,
or maybe stddef.h actually has to have something in it then,
I don't know.   I'm too tired to look at it to see if your
fix actually does any harm at the moment...
