[haiku-development] self hosting: svn? headers? gcc?

I'm trying to build from scratch on Haiku, from a raw
hard disk install, and some parts seem to be missing.
Am I just looking in the wrong place, or is the whole
tool set not really there yet?

1.  No svn for Haiku.  I understand this is indeed not
    100% there yet, but maybe I can build one that's
    good enough for read access only, so I got the source
    and started the configure, when ...

2.  gcc fails, because I don't have C headers.  All right,
    I probably just need to get them out of the source tree ...
    oops, no svn yet.

3.  Now if I had headers, would gcc work?  Evidently not:
    a simple test program with no headers fails to link
    when ld can't find crti.o.  Is that file supposed to
    exist somewhere, or is gcc misconfigured?

Thanks!  I'm running a fairly recent build now (which is very
exciting, it's really sweet to see this) and there's a hardware
configuration problem I might be able to help out with a little
more if I could build from source.
