I used 'make bootstrap' to create the native egcs-1.1b compiler which appears to bootstrap itself. Doesn't the stage 2 compile use stage1 compiler and do a binary check for successful bootstrap? It wouldn't seem to then matter whether I used gcc or egcs to get the stage1 compiler. If it bootstrapped to a good stage2, it's fine. Also, doesn't the compiler carry it's own library for it's own needs? So it doesn't matter whether I have libc-5xxxx or not? > If you can get 'acid-tested' binaries, why try to build the > same yourself?
