It matters if someone has trouble reproducing your results.  But you are
probably right that there are problems regardless of the configure and
build commands used.

I know that cross compilers can build the kernel and bootstrap a native
toolchain, and I think that they can build glibc also.  However, you
don't need libstdc++ or libjava to work for that, so it is possible that
there are problems I never noticed when I was using cross compilers to
Itanium linux.
