through libtool.
I found a make variable holding flags that will not be trimmed by libtool:
FLAGS_FOR_TARGET.

Dealt with the gcc 4.4 expression for it to work well for a native and a cross
compiler, adding a pair of patches to get the job done without much side
effects. One (libtool problems on -B) comes from the gcc 4.3 expression, while
the other fixes a bug already fixed in gcc 4.4.3.

used to cross-compile, because of some bug in 4.4.2 I think. This bug does not
allow building a cross-compiler without libc:

Maybe we should wait for 4.4.3 or stay with 4.4.1 cross compiling. By now I
will keep 4.3.4 on cross compilation.

Fixing the glibc-2.10 expression on cross-builds (which should be ported to
the glibc-2.11 expression once we get "ports" there)
Making kde3 and cyrus-sasl use gcc-4.3, because the strictness in gcc-4.4 does
not allow them build.

Building the `configure-gcc' target early on (in `preConfigure') was a big mistake as
the build woud just go haywire after that (e.g., trying and failing to build `jvgenmain'
in stage 1).
