Re: [Ltib] LTIB on x86?

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Tim,

The host compiler is probably okay so long as your target is the same 
(or compatible).  In fact, the host based packages that LTIB uses builds 
uses this method to populate the stuff in /opt/ltib/....

You may run into one or two gotchas with respect to things like 
base-libs where the layout of the compiler is presumed to be that of a 
CodeSourcery toolchain.  With this in mind you may have to either fix 
that .spec file, or have some substitute (you could place in 
config/platform/_your_x86_target_/

Regards, Stuart
