cc/gcc: do not use the core pass-2 to build the baremetal compiler

In case we build a baremetal compiler, use the standard passes:
- core_cc is used to build the C library;
- as such, it is meant to run on build, not host;
- the final compiler is meant to run on host;

As the current final compiler step can not build a baremetal compiler,
call the core backend from the final step.

NB: Currently, newlib is built during the start_files pass, so we have
to have a core compiler by then... Once we can build the baremetal
compiler from the final cc step, then we can move the newlib build to
the proper step, and then get rid of the core pass-1 static compiler...

     7 The gethostbyname4() lookup method is problematic since it fires out both

     8 the A and AAAA DNS queries in parallel and over the same socket. This

     9 should work in theory, but it turns out that many cheap DSL modems and

    10 similar devices have buggy DNS servers - if the AAAA query arrives too

    11 quickly after the A query, the server will generate only a single reply

    12 with the A query id but returning an error for the AAAA query; we get

    13 stuck waiting for the second reply.

    14 

    15 For gethostbyname4() users affected, disabling IPv6 in the system might

    16 work around the issue, unfortunately it only helps with applications

    17 using AI_ADDRCONFIG (e.g. Firefox); some (notably e.g. Pidgin) neglect

    18 to do that.

    19 

    20 Real fix should be using separate ports for the A and AAAA queries.
