Thanks, but I am already familiar with LFS.

Chapter 6 deals with building the LFS system in a chrooted environment. 
That is not what I am trying to do (building my system in chrooted 
environment will be done much later in my process when I have my 
toolchains 1 & 2, plus have the minimal set of utilities for that 
environment built & installed).

Chapter 5, however, resembles more of what I am trying to achieve - i.e 
build a (native) toolchain and minimal set of tools with which to set up 
the chroot environment and then proceed to build my system. The steps 
described in Chapter 5 are the same (or very similar) to the steps ct-ng 
already performs albeit for a cross-compilation, so why should I 
reinvent the wheel (excuse the punt)?

If I could use ct-ng to get my native compiler built properly (and lets 
face it, ct-ng is *the* tool to use to do such a thing - I've been 
banging my head for ages until I found something which comes close to 
being reliable at building this), then I am ready to proceed to the 
final steps in my process and start building the system in chrooted 
environment.
