We could give some thought to using DIY's new build method, which is essentially building the first pass of binutils and gcc as cross compilers, cross-compiling the first build of Glibc and building natively after that. There's several advantages to doing it this way. To briefly mention a few:
* Much less chance of anything on the host side creeping in or affecting the build. * If you have 64-bit hardware but are using a 32-bit OS, you can build the new system as 64-bit, if you wish. * There is less complicated toolchain adjustment for chapter 5. I'm sure Greg would have more... One thing that does concern me, although I know Greg has a solution worked out for this, I'm not sure how long this solution would be valid in the future. Upstream appears to think that using sysroot is the correct approach, and Greg currently backports a change in GCC in order to allow this build method to work.
