Need Of binUtils ?

[John Smith]

Ok.

I think i got confused.

First, I have installed Linux with Gcc - so, i have a set of utils
like gcc, ar (which are called bin utils). These utils work on the
host system and on binaries that contain code which runs on host
processor.

Lets Call this as Host-BinUtils-Host

That is They run on Host System and produce Host Processor Code.


fine.

Now i want some cross development tools.

So, I download GCC - compiler source, ar source, linker source.

Now i compile these programs using my binutils Host-BinUtils-Host

Now i get another set of binUtils say BinUtils (call they Host-BinUtils-Target).

These Utils (run on the Host-BinUtils-Target) host but produce code
(executable) which run on the Target.

Am i right.  


I just wanted to be sure with my understanding.

John
