For now I'm cheating=2C I let gcc build "all" and I haven't build the runti=

Even so=2C as long as you bootstrap from djcrx (or a full native environmen=

cc.so would need libc=2C so then what you said=2C or do the integrated cygn=
us tree thingy (which I should really construct anyway=2C gcc+binutils+gmp+=
mpfr).
=20
Oh=2C or=2C right=2C depending on how the runtime changes.
Like when you go and add something like writev=2C you have to build that=2C=
then go back and build libstdc++ to use it.

It's all very circular=2C I like to say. :)

=20
I (naively?) disagree. You can do lots of compile and link tests=2C but not=
any run tests.
Do you count setting up a sys-root ahead of time "manual intervention"? If =
so=2C ok.
=20
I realize that in bringing up a truly new platform=2C things are more diffi=
cult.
You have to build the sys-root=2C somehow. The .h files you write yourself=
=2C ok. The .libs you can't make because you don't yet have a compiler. The=
compiler (at least libstdc++) you can't configure without the .libs. Deadl=
ock.
=20
But once things are in place=2C you can cheat and reuse the previous build =
outputs=2C hoping they are not too divergent from current.
=20
You have to "cheat" in any case=2C like starting with a compiler and linker=
from somewhere.
"Manual intervention" is also initial machine setup.
