Oh dear; I missed the fact that you lack a cross-compiling toolchain.
Things are much easier if you can cross-compile.

Given your situation your approach is probably the best you can do.
I have never done a native bootstrap like this and consequently have no
idea what challenges lay in wait. It sounds like it may be a long road,
however.
