host=target, build=host and package behavior

[Sylvain BERTRAND]

Hi,
I sent an email to those mailing lists with an account from the 
mail15.com spammer.
I apologize for the trouble.
I post a sum up of my message:


I wanted to use the host and target options to compile "native cross" 
binutils. Namely with --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu and 
--target=i686-pc-linux-gnu or in others words I wanted to trigger the 
"cross-tools compilation" behavior of the package with host=target.

Would it be wiser to let this behavior triggerable with a special 
"force-compilation-of-cross-tools" configure option?

Of course, I extend the issue to the build=host, aka cross compilation, 
case.

I currently have some free time, then I could implement those features 
or... am I proposing insane things to do?


Sylvain
