Some references about building cross toolchains also use "make all-gcc" and "make install-gcc" to install a GCC without target libgcc at first, Then use this GCC to build target libc (glibc or newlib). With the libc installed, we can build complete GCC (with target libraries). -- Xi Ruoyao <ryxi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University
