Once you get into GCC in enough detail, you'll come to appreciate that
cross-compiling is not particularly special. It's just the compiler
running on a different system type to the code being generated. There
is certainly a bit of intricacy in building GCC for such an environment,
but conceptually, it's very straightforward.
Welcome, and thanks for joining up!
