I had a very basic question - Do I need to build the GCC in 2 stages or 3 stages. Please note that mine is the case of cross compilation .Because as I understood it in first stage gcc needs to be built without any headers .
Some bullshit in the net has caused this misunderstanding?
A normal cross GCC for a system target like Linux is a "second
incarnation of the original native GCC".
So one needs to do only :
1. copy the target C library into the $sysroot
2. configure and build the target binutils, hosted on the $host system,
using '--with-sysroot=' to point
to the target C library
3. configure and build the target GCC, hosted on the $host system, using
'--with-sysroot=' to point
to the target C library
and be happy!
A normal cross GCC so could for instance be one hosted on a Fedora
14/i386 system and targeted to a
Fedora 18/ARM system, and use the glibc RPMS for the latter system as
the target C library in the
chosen $sysroot...
