This is now known as #772184 (dpkg) and has a patch.

Turns out that I missed the part in gcc's debian/README.cross[1] that
told me to set WITH_SYSROOT=/. This is a non-issue.
So what remains is my question on how to obtain libgcc1 at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-cross/2014/12/msg00004.html.
I consider fixing these four bugs (with patches, one already fixed in
sid) plus the libgcc1 issue as a resolution of the ctte bug.
