As I mentioned before, because of --boot-ld-flags, with earlier libgcc
and libstdc++ installed in that directory.

Over the weekend, I successfully tested a different way to configure
and build: all static libraries.  If you build and privately install
GMP, MPFR, MPC and LIBICONV configured as static libraries
(--enable-static --disable-shared) and install in /prereq, then,
combined with your patch to enable --static-libstdc++ --static-libgcc,
the resulting GCC only depends on AIX libc.a -- no other shared
libraries. Bull Freeware can distribute the shared versions of the
libraries for other applications, but they do not need to be GCC
dependencies.
