GCC Cross-Compiler: Difference between revisions

This tutorial focuses oncon reatingcreating a GCC cross-compiler for your own operating system. This compiler that we build here will have a generic target (i686-elf) what allows you to leave the current operating system behind, meaning that no headers or libraries of your host operating system will be used. You ''need'' a cross-compiler for operating system development, otherwise a lot of unexpected things can happen because the compiler assumes that your code is running on your host operating system.
