:/ I have read the man pages on gcc. I was asking for a bit more, if you
have it. The problem comes in the form that we have two 'experts' saying
two different things. Ryan so positively says that -B shouldn't be used
that way, you use it happily. So I'm trying to figure out, between the
two toolchain people we have here, where reality lies.

Obviously '-B' works for you, and obviously, Ryan's methods work for
him. Is there a 'best for LFS' in all of that?

If the only technical reason is that "-B doesn't work for multilib" then
we need to ask ourselves: Will LFS ever support mulitlib or non-x86
archs? If so, another method is necessary. If not, then we should again
ask ourselves, why use a component of gcc that isn't even officially there?

I really don't care what the technical solution is, I don't have any
personal feelings attached to this. I just want the best one for LFS.
