Your argument seems to be based on the axiom that that GCC in general is 
a stupid, broken, helpless mess.

Given that, you are forced to conclude that the only way forward is to 
hack things up.

I and others have successfully used GCC's --with-sysroot= configuration 
option.  But we are working with a different set of assumptions, so 
should be ignored.
