AFAICT, (and I've been saying this for yonks) --with-sysroot is the only sane, and most importantly, preferred-by-upstream method to build cross toolchains. It's a must for embedded targets. But it's not perfect because influence from the host cannot be eliminated entirely.. although "host" tools can be installed into a suitable dir to negate this effect somewhat. CLFS in it's current form is badly named because only the temporary tools are cross compiled. Only when CLFS produces a truly cross compiled system can it live up to its name IMHO. However.. I can't produce any facts right now (so take this statement with a grain of salt) but cross toolchains do not produce byte-for-byte identical binaries compared to those which are compiled by native toolchains. I hope to get to the bottom of this one day..
