Hmmmmm, this means you effectively end up building GCC 7 times, 3 times in GCC-Pass1, 1 time in GCC-Pass2 and 3 times Ch6 GCC. It also means you end
This just made me think of something else, a mere side point... If CLFS adopted this technique as well (bootstrapping the final GCC as one last check to ensure everything's good) that would mean that CLFS would actually be building GCC fewer times (and probably a quicker build, assuming chroot and no multilib):
1 time as Cross GCC Static, 1 time as Cross GCC Shared/Final, 1 time as the target Temp System GCC, and 3 times as the Final Native build, for a total of 6.
In fact, as both books currently stand, CLFS actually builds GCC once less. So, assuming you're not building multilib, CLFS might actually be quicker to build than LFS. :) Has anyone recently timed a x86 -> x86 chroot CLFS build and compared it to the time it takes to build LFS?
