Hello again, As a quick follow up, since one of the points that was originally brought up with the original suggestion: the changes required to GCC to support this cross-compilation model is minimally invasive. You can find the patch for this at [1]. It enables the cross-compilation model on x86, x86_64, PPC, Itanium, and ARM, and AArch64. Additionally, a tiny second patch [2] tweak the build system for the prefixed tools. There may be a better way for accomplishing the changes that I have performed here, but this was the cleanest way that I saw.
