My goal is to create a minimal C/C++ compiler that I can use to jump-start a blank GNU environment from source. Think of an alternative to LFS. (I tried LFS, and failed apocalyptic ally.) The bootstrap is sort of a safety feature (although not the only one) to remove any attachment from the host gcc. Hope my approach makes sense: Just build and install to something that will become /usr/bin/{cc,c++,gcc,g++} once chroot'ed? Is libgcc needed for gcc to run, or is it just needed when developing against it? Regards, Winston
