• Building a cross-compiling toolchain by yourself is a difficult and painful task! Can take days or weeks!

• Lots of details to learn. Several components to build.

• Lots of decisions to make (such as C library version and configuration for your platform)

• Need kernel headers and C library sources

• Need to be familiar with current gcc issues and patches on your platform

• Useful to be familiar with building and configuring tools
