Conversely, the more I think about it, the more I don't like it.. will say more after I've done some analysis.

We're trying to keep it simple, no multilib, no mix of 32-bit/64-bit userland/kernel. The simplest test case we have is: pure x86_64 host comprised of gcc-4.2.1/glibc-2.6.1/hjl-binutils-2.17.50.0.18 targetting gcc-4.1.2/glibc/-2.5.1/fsf-binutils-2.17 We are trying to eliminate the "target ld doesn't like host libc" issue, aren't we? If so, the above test case tells us immediately because we know it doesn't work. Anyhoo, I'll follow up when I have some more facts.
