It still uses xgcc for compiles. That's not really bootstrapping: it uses xgcc to compile the target libraries. There is no way to avoid that (except by hacking the makefiles, but there's no guarantee it will compile because the target libraries might make use of features only supported in the latest GCC). > I am specifically interested in building libgfortran.so this way to avoid > certain shared library clash. Could you elaborate? What clashes?
