I understood that gcc-3.0.4-uclibc-20020410.src.tar was a gcc3.0.4 that
links for uclibc. that's what I called "toolchained gcc"
I used it to compile statically busybox and tinylogin.

I don't really understand how *libc works, and that why I didn't understand
what "You may also want to modify SHARED_LIB_LOADER_PATH, DEVEL_PREFIX, and
SYSTEM_DEVEL_PREFIX depending [...]" means.

Glibc talks about compiling inside a chrooted environment, but in that case
I need a compiler on it. Should I need to make a third pure-uclibc system
with gcc before?

Could you explain it to me, or give me some howto to read?
