It's even worse. To build gcc, you need the target's libc headers. To
get glibc's headers, you need kernel's headers. To get those, you need
to 'make xxxconfig' the kernel. To do so, you already need the
cross-gcc...
I've just figured that out yesterday or the day before (I'm currently
interested in cross-compilers as I've started to document that:)
