GCC Canadian Cross: Difference between revisions

A Canadian Cross is to first build a cross-compiler for system Y (the host) on system X (the build-system). You would then use that cross-compiler, setting <tt>--build=<where this compiler runs> --host=<where the compiler you're building shall run> --target=<where the executables the compiler you're building will build shall run></tt>. This explanation alone should be sufficient to show why this is both non-trivial and error-prone.
