I have built gcc//C,C++,ada,fortran// with {configure, make, make install} a
few times. However I was thinking of more than gcc and said tools.
I was thinking also if cmake has been used to build glibC, binutils (i.e.
toolchains) as well. Possible applications could be in embedded areas
including non-x86 cpu's. (Incidently does anyone know if cmake does(can)
run on either Renesas' superH-cpu or A-D's blackfin-cpu machines?)
