Cross-compiling gcc? (sysroot confusion)

My plan is that that final gcc will be run as /usr/bin/gcc after all
of /sysroot has been moved to a separate machine, yes.

So it sounds like --with-build-sysroot is what I need. Thanks.

Are --with-sysroot and --with-gmp really necessary at that point
though? Isn't the sysroot / by default, and the gmp search path
affected by --with-build-sysroot?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
