And how do the sh, ppc64, m68k folks get a build, not to mention
anyone that trying to develop for a *new* architecture?

I want to track the active sources (CVS head) for various parts of the
toolchain so I can report failures *before* they get into a release.

That's impossible if I have to wait for a 'prebuilt' glibc to show up....

We *need* a method that relies only on a working C compiler so we can
bootstrap for *every* target.
