Ah, right, and LFS assumes that you have an already-built machine of the
same architecture as the one you're bootstrapping. Yes, that's much
simpler; there's no need to bother with the `cross-binutils,
inhibit-libc-cross-compiler, native-libc, cross-compiler,
native-compiler, native-libc, oh-shit-this-fundamental-tool-doesn't-support-
cross-compilation *hack* *hack* *hack*' rain dance.
