This one, IMHO is the worst possible option to support in the book. The others of course, too, have drawbacks, but this one is by far the worst. I would rather see the book *only* have a chroot path than have a tar/copy files for your new system.

In fact, the more I think about it, I think this is the way we should go. Where the book currently splits, there should be an explanation of the different courses a reader could take with links that point to hints on various methods of getting the new tools onto the target machine and in an environment where they can then finish the book. Each hint should leave the user ready to pick up just where the user enters into chroot, and allow them to successfully finish the build.

After spending some time on the "reboot" section, I think it's a mistake to include any of that extra stuff in the book. Esp. when it still seems that more will be taking the chroot path anyway.

What about when you build on x86 for a different platform then chroot is not an option at all. That's the reason we added that to the book.
