You only need to cross-compile once, to break the link with the host system. Once you have a set of cross-compiled primary tools (gcc, binutils, glibc), you switch to native compilation. And you need Pass 2 because the Pass 1 gcc and binutils have been linked statically and now need to be linked dynamically to the new glibc (not to mention the fact that the Pass 1 gcc is a very simplified version which could not be used as a general compiler). Please do not mail people privately without an invitation.
