That's just... why? Doesn't that mean > it's basically impossible to build GCC 4.8 without a binary of it first? No you need a 4.8 cross compiler to build a 4.8 "native" compiler. So you should build a 4.8 cross compiler which will include all the target libraries and then you do a 4.8 Canadian cross (you just need to do "make all-host && make install-host" as you already have all the libraries done by the normal cross).
