cc: add options to differentiate the need for pass-1 and pass-2

In some cases, building the core pass-1 is unneeded, as the C library
will not try to build anything when installing headers, or sill not
install anything at all.

This is for example the case for newlib, wihch does not require a core
pass-1 since it builds nothing and installs no header.

This should also be the case for newer glibc-es with newer gcc-es,
which no longer require a core pass-1, since the circular dependency
glibc <-> gcc (about TLS?) has been resolved.

     1 This is a somewhat ordered TODO list:
     2 
     3 Recurring tasks:
     4 
     5 - update versions for every tools...
     6 
     7 - update and/or upgrade all samples
     8 
     9 
    10 Non-recurring tasks:
    11 
    12 - update newlib (for enhanced bare metal)
    13   - confirm existing implementation on targets other than AVR32
    14   - try to make it generic, will help for uClibc++
    15 
    16 - multilib
    17 
    18 - Cygwin target (needs newlib)
    19   - so we can build toolchains that generate code for Windows/Cygwin
    20 
    21 - Cygwin host
    22   - so we can build toolchains that run natively under Windows/Cygwin
    23 
    24 - mingw32 target
    25   - so we can build toolchains that generate code for Windows/Win32
    26 
    27 - mingw32 host
    28   - so we can build toolchains that run natively under Windows/Win32
    29     (without requiring Cygwin)
    30 
    31 - uClibc++
    32   - see newlib, above
    33 
    34 - uClinux
    35   - check whether we can use newlib under uClinux (?)
