Re: Reason for Chapter 5

I'm sure someone else may be able to give a more detailed explanation, but the "simple" answer: GCC is used to build software. Correct. So, any software you compile on your own system will work just fine. However, you are in essence, compiling software on YOUR system (host) for ANOTHER system (
