host-gcc is only meant for building additional "host tools" for
Scratchbox (tools that are installed under /scratchbox or /host_usr). 

You should use an i686-* or i386-* toolchain for a normal x86
development target.  Using host-gcc for development might work under
normal circumstances, but it results in broken rootstraps etc.

We're planning on disabling (or not shipping) the host-gcc by default in
a future Scratchbox release because it has caused so much confusion.
