I understand that at the recent summit, cross-compilation
documentation was listed as being an item of high priority.
I've been working on this a bit; my current efforts are at
http://kegel.com/crosstool
I'd like to get in touch with whoever is working on this
issue in the gcc team.
Thanks,
Dan

Tonight's post by Kaz on crossgcc got me reading old threads,
and I came across this one from last June:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-06/msg01875.html
in which Zach Weinberg said
>We want to decouple libgcc build from compiler build for

Back then, 3.5 seemed impossibly far off.  Now it's at our
doorstep.  Has there been any motion on getting libgcc
build decoupled from basic gcc build?  It would be highly
appreciated.  It's getting harder and harder to bootstrap
the gcc/glibc combination with each new release.  cvs glibc
looks like it currently requires you to have a good target
gcc *just to install the headers*, so my old tricks won't
work.  Getting rid of the need for glibc headers to build
plain old gcc would really cut through the Gordian knot.
Pretty please?

I'll gladly buy anyone working on this a beer at the summit...

Where is this documented? I don't see any reference at
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html.

Is there anyone here familiar with the current practice for building
cross-compilers (including Canadian crosses, building in and out of common
source tree with binutils, dealing with libgcc depending on libc and libc
depending on libgcc, ...)?

If so, could you merge the existing old instructions in install-old.texi
into the current install manual install.texi, updating and expanding them
as necessary?  The continued presence of the old install documentation
that hasn't yet been merged into the new is now an obstacle to separating
the user and internals manuals (which I'd then follow by cleaning up the
structure of the internals manual and putting in the framework for proper
documentation of aspects not currently documented, such as the build
system and the front-end interface), since the structure of three manuals
(user, install, internals) for three different audiences has no place for
old install instructions in either the user of the internals manual.
