Cross-Compiling...man what confusion...
What is the significance of the host string that follows target=<host> (sometimes
CROSS_COMPILE=<host>)? It's format is <CPU>-<BRAND>-<KERNEL>-<OS>. I've checked glibc-2.3.1 and
it WILL NOT matter what you place for <BRAND> (see glibc-2.3.1/INSTALL, under supported
configurations). Is there any rhyme or reason for this naming scheme? How do I predict what a
host string should be? i.e. I want to compile for a Celeron based pc running linux. What's my
<HOST> string? i686-pc-linux-gnu? x86-unknown-linux? Celeron-outdatedworkstation-linux-gnu?
