Here is example of this problem with gcc-2.95.2

When I'm building gcc-2.95.2 as native compiler for DJGPP under 
Linux libgcc.a is built using cross-compiler and as result _eprintf
is left out (--inhibit-libc forced when cross-compiling). No clean way 
how to override this is provided (except than editting gcc/libgcc2.c). 
g77 uses assert with _eprintf and as result one have to modify 
manually libgcc2.c to build G77 using cross-compiler. All cases when 
host!=build suffers from that
