4. isn't even valid; klibc uses ld directly rather than going through gcc.

There really isn't a standard klibc out-of-tree build system yet.  There 
are more things than that; gcc sometimes needs additional 
architecture-specific options (like -mregparm=3 -DREGPARM=3 for i386).

Right now all that stuff is embedded in Makefiles.

At this point, your best bet is is to use the klibc build system, and 
clone one of the existing Makefiles, or add your stuff to the utils/ 
directory.
