IIRC, it's even:

- gcc requires libc headers
- libc requires kernel headers
- kernel headers require gcc

:)

So the reason crosstool sets up kernel headers (whether sanitized or
not) is to make the basic glibc header setup (with --hacker-mode, etc)
work, which in turn makes the base gcc build possible, even if the
--without-headers feature is broken.
