Hi Matthias,

I noticed that building a stage1 cross compiler does not issue exactly
the right Build-Depends. rebootstrap has traditionally ignored gcc's
Build-Depends and just installed what it thinks was right, but maybe
that's not the best of solutions.

In particular, gcc Build-Depends on a pile of glibc stuff, which is
quite obviously unavailable when building stage1. I'm attaching a patch
that drops these unused dependencies. Please consider applying it.

Control: reassign -1 src:gcc-16

You asked me to rebase this patch onto a higher gcc version. With much
delay, I did. In doing so, I also ran into a couple of minor issues also
fixed in this rebase. Can we get this into gcc-16 now?
