Ok, I give up.
I killed many hours trying to build a cross-compiling
x86_64-linux-uclibc-gcc, version 4.3.0.
After many "WTF?" moments I decided to go back and try
to build a cross-compiler which I already have,
just older version: I decided to build i486 one,
not x86_64.
Because I already have i486-linux-uclibc-gcc version 4.2.1
and it works.
I unpacked and built i486-linux-uclibc-gcc version 4.3.0
with absolutely the same configure and make command lines,
and it does not work. Specifically, it seems to mess up
paths:
i486-linux-uclibc-gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or
directory
stracing gcc invocation reveals typical
"..bin/../lib/something/../../../../../something-else/.."
stuff, but this time, it definitely fails to pick up cc1.
(See below for strace comparison between 4.2.1 and 4.3.0)
Yeah, yeah, I saw it with x86_64-linux-uclibc-gcc too
and was able to overcome it with even more hacks and
options in configure, but it won't stop there!
It will use wrong as and/or ld; then it will also try
to link wrong crtXXXXX.o files which do not exist!
So I won't try to fix that now - instead, let's concentrate
on "how in hell? it was working before!"
Well, hrm.... last sanity check:
I remove i486-linux-uclibc-gcc version 4.2.1, unpack
fresh 4.2.1, build it with the very same configure and
make options and IT WORKS!
So, something definitely is changed incompatibly between 4.2.1 and 4.3.0
Help...
