Re: Is a target glibc really needed to build full crossgcc?

Luckily you only need the reproductive tract of the chicken (xgcc, cc1) in order to produce the egg (glibc headers) which can then produce a full (C only) chicken. xgcc and cc1 can be built without headers or libraries given the right make incantations. Don't even try to build C++ without a full glibc (ostrich egg?), it just isn't worth it once you have a C compiler for glibc.

*ROTFL* Billiant summary...
