gcc: skip core pass 1 when it is unnecessary

If neither the Linux headers nor the libc start files are required, skip gcc's
core pass 1 since the build will simply move from pass 1 to pass 2 without
doing any work in between.

Trevor, All,

Sorry for the delay... :-(

There is already an escape-point a few lines above:
    if [ "${CT_CC_CORE_PASSES_NEEDED}" != "y" ]; then
        return 0
    fi

Also, LIBC == none or LIBC == newlib is only possible for bare-metal to
start with. So, this would be equivalent to not select CC_CORE_PASSES_NEEDED
for newlib, right?

Ah, no, in fact. CC_CORE_PASSES_NEEDED just disables both passes, when
we only want to disable pass-1.

I'll see what we can do...

I've pushed a different set of changes that should do what you want,
now:
    cc: add options to differentiate the need for pass-1 and pass-2
    cc/gcc: only build required core passes
    libc/newlib: only requires core pass-2

Thanks for the report! :-)

Thank you :-) I'll take a look shortly.
