I got this off a GCC mailing list. I would prefer that we stick with these definitions. -- David ----- Forwarded message No there are actually three separate terms regarding three separate machines. 1. The "target" system is the platform gcc will generate code for. 2. The "build" system is the platform where you compile gcc. 3. The "host" system is the platform where gcc executes. When you build a regular cross compiler, the target is different but host==build. When you build a cross compiler *using* a cross compiler, (also known as a canadian-cross compile) then all three are different. ----- End forwarded message ----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
