As I understand it, the first time you recompile new toolchain with |
| 12 |
your old toolchain, and then the 2nd time you're recompiling the |
| 13 |
toolchain with the new toolchain, with the idea that the new toolchain |
| 14 |
will compile/assemble/link/etc everything in a different way than the |
| 15 |
old toolchain. |

Please correct if I'm wrong. |
