Doesn't this just rebuild the standard gcc compiler in /usr/obj/usr/tmp/bin as
part of the tools build, then use that compiler to build world.
The first builds are done with egcs then it moves over to gcc to build the 
world.
by removing the above from the Makfiles just prevents them from getting 
built and installed in the
final build.
when I do /usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/bin/cc --version
it comes out gcc 2.7.2.1
Or am I missing something here ??
