I'm trying to avoid dynamic linking on the target, so just selected that
option without thinking - with it turned on the build runs through until
the next step (building the final compiler), and fails demanding that
the host supports -fPIC -shared -rdynamic for plugin support.  I solved
this by turning off the option to build a static toolchain, I guess GCC
plugins are not supported with a static toolchain?

It's an excellent domain :).

As an aside should I be cc-ing the list?
