I'm not sure what your point is -- but I'm quite familiar with building 
cross and Canadian cross toolchains.  If the GCC you're building can't 
run on the host system, then the whole discussion doesn't matter; you're 
not going to run the GCC in the build directory, in which case the 
symlinks we're talking about don't matter.
