Since the TOOLDIR version is configured as a cross-compiler, it does 
not look in /usr/lib/... for libraries/crt files.  Instead, it looks in 
the GCC "standard" directories of PREFIX/target-name/lib.

Whenever you use the TOOLDIR gcc, you basically need to do the 
-nostdlib dance and specifiy the libraries/crt files manually, just as 
<bsd.*.mk> do.
