crosstool for native compiler on new system.

[Clemens Koller <clemens dot koller at anagramm dot de>]

Hello,

Well, some days ago, I was successfully running crossgcc on MPC8540 
(e500, SPE) (no changes were necessary within crosstool, to answer your
last question, Steve.)

Now I want to use or re-use the binaries for a new Linux From Scratch 
root on a harddisk in i.e. /mnt.

So, my question is: what things do I need to take care about to get
my new compiler+binutils+? as my (one and only) native compiler in
/usr/bin on the host system as well as in the new root of /mnt/usr/bin.
Is it okay to set the TARGET_DIR to put the compiler to i.e. 
/mnt/usr/bin (which might be dangerous)?

It is possible to relocate the whole (crossgcc-) build, copy the
libs, edit the specs file and move (or put symlinks)
powerpc-linux-gnuspe-* to /usr/bin/*
(I would prefer not to use any powerpc-linux-sth-prefixes anymore).

Is the specs file the one and only place for gcc+friends which needs
to fit the environment?

Well, I've read several howtos as well as the LFS docu...
but I still feel unsafe in what I am doing. Can you please
point me to some more installation FAQs or examples or give
me a short sketch of the things I need to take care?

Is it possible to get out a tar.gz'ed file out of crosstool with
only the binaries which are needed in a plain, native Linux?
(like a --buildnativetar)

Thank you!
