-Dinhibit_libc not being set in gcc-3.4/gcc/configure?

[Dan Kegel <dank at kegel dot com>]

My build script, which happily built gcc-3.3.1/glibc-2.3.2,
now fails with

In file included from /crosstool-0.18/build/powerpc-750-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4-20030813-glibc-2.3.2/gcc-3.4-20030813/gcc/tsystem.h:75,
                 from /crosstool-0.18/build/powerpc-750-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4-20030813-glibc-2.3.2/gcc-3.4-20030813/gcc/crtstuff.c:62:

I configure the bootstrap gcc with
     ${GCC_DIR}/configure --target=$TARGET --host=$HOST --prefix=$PREFIX \
        --with-local-prefix=${PREFIX}/${TARGET} \
        --disable-multilib \
        --with-newlib \
        --without-headers \
        --disable-nls \
        --enable-threads=no \
        --enable-symvers=gnu \
        --enable-__cxa_atexit \
        --enable-languages=c \
        --disable-shared

--with-newlib used to force -Dinhibit_libc, but it looks like it doesn't
in gcc-3.4.  Here's the new code in gcc/configure:

# If this is using newlib, without having the headers available now,
# then define inhibit_libc in LIBGCC2_CFLAGS.
# This prevents libgcc2 from containing any code which requires libc
# support.
inhibit_libc=
if { { test x$host != x$target && test "x$with_sysroot" = x ; } ||
       test x$with_newlib = xyes ; } &&
     test "x$with_headers" = x ; then
       inhibit_libc=-Dinhibit_libc
fi

which is more complex that in gcc-3.3.  Setting -x before running this shows

+ inhibit_libc=
+ test xi686-host_pc-linux-gnu '!=' xpowerpc-750-linux-gnu
+ test x = x
+ test xno = x

And aha, it looks like --without-headers is setting $with_headers to 'no',
which is misinterpreted by the new line
     test "x$with_headers" = x ; then
in gcc/configure.  Should that be
     test "x$with_headers" = xno ; then
or something of the sort?
