I want to compile a new gcc and glibc. Glibc and how to switch it over to be the main library is complicated enough to me and OT so I will not mention that.As far as gcc goes I want to upgrade from the 3.x.x series to 4.6.0. How can I create a working compile that uses the least amount of glibc as possible. Maybe it is a cross compiler I am looking for. I want to upgrade my whole system. The reason I am not just getting a newer version of linux is that the newer flavors are not to my liking. Any suggestions?
You should be able to compile your new version of gcc using the existing gcc that you have installed.
P.S. There's nothing wrong with trying to rebuild your own system all by yourself. It's a good learning experience. But it won't be easy. That's why distributions exist.
