Surely if build != host it must already be required that you have
preinstalled toolchains for build x host (to cross-compile the compiler
and tools you're building) and build x target (for target libraries)? If
someone would update the cross-compiler build/install documentation (merge
what's in install-old.texi into install.texi, make clear exactly what
should be installed in advance and where, how to bootstrap when you don't
start with libc for the target and glibc/libgcc want each other, ...) ....
