Sure, I agree.  These two real silly problems I introduced only makes me
appreciate more that it takes some time to get the patches in ;-)

Yes.  I wrongly assumed (though that I knew and saw happen) that
cross-gcc and cross-libc were used in the bootstrap process that I was
thus testing them...I've seen a lot of my build host compilers and libc
getting built and rebuilt.  Now I know that's not the case and need to
test for that when touching this area.  That's still no excuse for
not testing the cross-base.scm patches individually :-/

I would still like to explore getting rid of the patched gcc and all
the environment variables and use a --sysroot instead; but I would
need some help/inspiration to get that experiment going.

Greetings, Jan
