For example, if you have a ARM laptop, and a x86_64 workstation, and you
want to develop programs for AVR MCUs on your ARM laptop, you could invoke
gccsrcdir/configure --host=x86_64-linux-gnu \
--target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --build=x86_64-linux-gnu
on your workstation. You'll build arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc running on
x86_64-linux-gnu. Then invoke
gccsrcdir/configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --target=avr \
--build=x86_64-linux-gnu
on your workstation. Then you can build avr-gcc running on
arm-linux-gnueabihf.
To use --host=X-Y-Z, you must have X-Y-Z-gcc. And to build X-Y-Z-gcc
you need X-Y-Z-binutils. To build "useful" programs such as a simple
hello world program, you need to build libc for X-Y-Z with X-Y-Z-gcc.

Yes. To bootstrap X-Y-Z-binutils, X-Y-Z-gcc and libc for X-Y-Z, you
have to use some strange configuration flags. Cross LFS
<http://clfs.org> would be an useful reference if you want to do that.
