Hi Michael,

Yes, before I posted, I did read this.  Please, notice that I remain
confused about the details of:

    * build the build environment

What do you think?
As kp pointed out, that refers to running "./buildtool.pl build buildenv". Generally when reading the docs, "toolchain" and "build environment" are pretty much used interchangeably. That's actually not quite true, (since toolchain only refers to compiler, linker, libc and so on, whereas "build environment" could mean more, like additional libs, headers and so on) but that difference can safely be ignored.

See "2.2.4. Toolchain download/build" on http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/buc-buildtool.html for info on that (maybe all you needed was the clarification that "toolchain" and "build environment" are the same).

If you're confused about why one would need to build a "build environment" (sorry if I'm stating the ovious here) - you can't use your system's gcc to compile binaries for Bering uClibc (technically, it's possible, but it creates a load of new problems). So, you'll need a complete set of tools (compiler, linker, libc), which is what we call the "toolchain" or the "build environment". Those are the things buildtool uses to compile/link binaries for Bering uClibc.

I hope that helps

Martin
