It is necessary.  Sorry about that.  That was the standard "last minute
change before the release".  I hadn't tried a native build subsequent to
that change.

Anyway, I was trying to avoid multiple calls of gcc/shell.  Does this
work any better?

LIBGCC:=${subst \\,/,${shell $(CC_FOR_TARGET) -print-libgcc-file-name}}

I can't test it right now, but it should work.
