Good point. This also reminds me that the compilers I build for
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ don't always
have every version of libgcc that may be needed, for instance
the mips compilers only provide a big-endian libgcc and the
arm compilers only provide a little-endian one, even though
the compilers can build code both ways with the right flags.
