If building more than 1000 cross-GCCs is already "a lot of", then the
experience got from that says it
is not a very good starting point....
Or then I have misunderstood the meaning for a cross-GCC being
something made for something already
existing, the native system being that for the system targets. Or in
the newlib case for something which
uses newlib and has no native tools at all. Both cases are built only
in one phase for GCC... Dan's
crosstool doesn't accept anything existing for the target platform, it
must be created from absolute
scratch and therefore requires all kind of dirty tricks when trying to
avoid using anything existing.
