Hi
  A regular cross toolchain is, for example, built on an x86, runs on
an x86 but generates code that runs on an ARM system.
  A cross-native toolchain in this case would be built on an x86 but
the toolchain that is built runs on an ARM and generated code for an
ARM.
   So the cross-architecture part is done during the building of the
toolchain, not when the resulting toolchain is run on the target
systema

So yes, the gcc in a buildroot, running on and generating code for the
target system, is one of these.
