What I know of cross-compiling gcc dates back to reading the DDJ  
series of articles on the creation of 386BSD. That back in those days  
one often had to use whatever C compiler was available to build gcc,  
then attempted to use that gcc to build itself as the final test.  
Also so as to have a gcc compiled by gcc.
