As previously mentioned I wiped and installed a clean debian. I did a
absolute minimum default install no desktop etc compiled the latest stable
musl, m4, gmp, mpfr, mpc, and downloaded gcc 4.7.3 with gregorr/musl-cross
patch to match.  I ran the build based on the commands i found in his
script and even tried passing --disable-werror to no avail (it helped on
binutils so i figured it was worth a shot).  Libgcc still errors out when
using --target.

Its having a problem finding/using libmpc.so.3 but the paths appear to
point to the directory which it is located. to be sure i even specified
using the --with-mpc flag.

If you could please take a moment to help me with this i would appreciate
it. Libmpc is in /root/cross/i686-linux-musl/lib and i have copied my
config.log from the libgcc directory below
