The easiest way (imho) is to create /cross where you install all of those. I would also recommend to install gmp,mpfr and mpc with static only. *Or* if you have root access, just use the ones that come with your distribution. > But I was keeping them out of /sysroot.

But in order to have a sysroot you can chroot into you will also need a lot of other stuff like sed,gawk,grep, coreutils etc. Or(!) you can install busybox. > Of course. I left those out as they are fairly straight forward applications to cross compile. It's gcc that's the cause of concern as it looks in more detail at the build system. But what about the specifics of building gcc? What configure flags to I need to specify? That's my primary source of confusion.
