Build Cross Host Tools
In order to configure a program for a Canadian Cross build, you must
first build and install the set of cross tools you will use to build the
program.
These tools will be build cross host tools. That is, they will run
on the build system, and will produce code that runs on the host system.
It is easy to confuse the meaning of build and host here. Always
remember that the build system is where you are doing the build, and the
host system is where the resulting program will run. Therefore, you
need a build cross host compiler.
In general, you must have a complete cross environment in order to do
the build. This normally means a cross compiler, cross assembler, and
so forth, as well as libraries and include files for the host system.
