This wouldn't work. You need to compile everything with
lib-path as /usr/lib etc so that we can compile gcc-pass1
against these binutils, (if I understand correctly this part
does not need -B). We then recompile just ld with lib-path as
/tools/lib and install this as ld-new. This does need -B so that
the hosts gcc uses the correct set of binutils.

I guess that the set of commands you posted would work for the
second compile with two changes: add the CC to use the hosts binutils
and use a cp instead of the make install as we only want to install
ld. You would also probably need a clean source/build tree just in case.
However, this would obviously recompile more that we need.

The above explanation is a bit dense. Feel free to ask for clarification.

Hope this helps,

Jack
