Actually, you get a cleaner toolchain, from my experience with this
process and a much more minimal system if you so desire.
Please, Jim, for me and I'm sure there are others that want to know
the same thing, can you explain *in a technical manner* how the
toolchain could be any "cleaner"?
I'm thinking byte-for-byte you end up with the same thing, right?
You can already build a more minimal system, by omitting things
you know aren't needed and/or removing them after installation, so
this doesn't play into the picture for me.
I would like someone to explain the *technical* difference in the
final binaries. I don't need to know the methodology, just how one
set of glibc/binutils/gcc and others will differ from ones that are
created using the old method.
Thanks in advance, as I know there is some work involved putting
this information out, but I know I would appreciate it, as I'm sure
many others would as well.
Randy, from what I have noticed doing cross-build from a pentium 2 to a
MIPS, the toolchain seems a lot more stable then what I had when I built
from MIPS to MIPS. It may just be a perception on my part, but I don't
seem to get a lot of the errors I did before with the same versions. On
a i686 to i686 build, no there might not be any difference, but on a
i686 to any_other_arch, there may be a significant difference on the
chapter 6 build. I saw a small difference in the size. I'm running a
build right now, and will post the differences once it's completed.
Probably take around 4 hours.
