Hi,

I'm trying to compile a cross-compiler and I'm just curios why
compilation of gcc stage 1 is needed?

As far as I understand stage 1 is needed to cross-compile glibc, but
why? What from glibc (except the headers) is needed when compiling gcc
stage 2?


Thanks,
Daniel

Shared library needed by GCC to compile applications ?
Usually --disable-shared --disable-threads and --enable-language=c are used to build the minimal GCC. Furthermore, other front-end of GCC depend on glibc.
