Your plan in the message above sounds good, and implementable rather
quickly. From my manual experiments over the past two weeks with cross
compiling, I am less optimistic about the feasability of the second
suggestion. Doing everything with the "native" tools (coming from a debian
installation, for instance, which is widely ported) on the target machine
sounds much easier.
The devil is really in the details. Just looking at the totally different
ways of obtaining statically linked binaries for the different gnu projects
we need for bootstrapping makes me weary of big integrated plans. In my
naivety, I thought it would be enough to add "--enable-static --disable-
shared" as configure flags, but one ends up patching Makefile.in, adding
LDFLAGS or AM_LDFLAGS, and working around subtle bugs here and there... So
let us go for the easiest path, and your first suggestion is very close to
what is already there.
Andreas
