that's funny ... i'm in the process of writing down a kind of crib
sheet for this sort of thing, based on what (little) i've learned from
my adventures with crosstool.

one of the simple things i found helped me a lot was to just look at
the contents of the various packages, like gcc and glibc.  it's
amazing what you can clarify when you see the list of files in the
various packages.  then it's easier to see how things fit together.
