Beware of what you ask. Some use a chroot() environment for the 
toolchain itself (to be vert
independent from the host tools/environment). And there is the sysroot 
style where you prepare a
target root filesystem on the host.

See these threads for a recent answer of the rationale of the last 
technique:
