I'm exposing my ignorance here, but I really don't think you need all |
| 8 |
that. The page linked above seems to deal with cross-compiling for ARM, |
| 9 |
which I think is a different problem from what you're having. |

As I think of it, libc isn't really part of your toolchain, but rather |
| 12 |
your interface to the system (kernel) on which your prefix is running. |
| 13 |
You may be able to compile your own libc--whether it's GNU's or somebody |
| 14 |
else's--but then you've just moved the prefix-system interface from libc |
| 15 |
to the kernel, and you've got to (manually) ensure that your libc plays |
| 16 |
nice with all the kernels you intend to use your prefix on. You may |
| 17 |
similarly be able to compile a kernel with your prefix software, but |
| 18 |
then you've really lost the benefit of the prefixed environment. |
