Cross Compiler question (the essence of a Canadian Cross Compiler)

["J. Robert Wyatt" <jamwyatt at cisco dot com>]

First, I'd like to say thanks for crosstool!!! I've done the work without it
and now I'm hooked!!!!! Thanks Dan!

Now for the question ...

I'd like to build a gcc compiler on a i686 system for ARMv5b that runs on
the ARMv5b. I've got the corsstool-0.37 to build the armv5b compiler that
runs on i686, but the next step is to use that compiler to build a compiler
that can run natively on the ARM platform (Linux 2.4.21 if that is of
interest). This last step is confusing since I don't see the three step
requirement.

Basically, the --build is the i686 system and the --host and --target are
one in the same ... want a compiler that runs on ARM to generate for ARM. Is
this essentially a Canadian Cross compiler? If so, do I really have to build
three compilers, when the first two are really the same?

Thanks,
Robert
