This "method" belongs in the group "Linux from scratch", not in 
"producing a cross compiler for existing Linux target". The idea in the
latter is "to do same things on another host system as one could do on 
the existing Linux target system". What already exists, it is
available and there isn't any reason to "reinvent the wheel". So you 
only need to produce GNU binutils and GCC from their sources
to work on another host system and to produce stuff for the target 
system there. For the "Linux distros" their install RPMs, '.deb'
packages etc will provide the required "run-time libraries" usually 
natively in '/lib' on the target system, the "development libraries"
in '/usr/lib' and "development headers & kernel headers" in 
'/usr/include'.  These are the basic "sysroot" stuff required during the
GCC build Xi told about.

So please choose your install $prefix for the cross binutils and cross 
GCC binaries (the same for both) and $sysroot for the C library
etc coming from / belonging to the target system. Then configure and 
build the sources and be happy!  It really isn't complicated at
all!
