More details: during the install, part of the toolchain and

most important factor. That means that the "install" host
should be CPU/syscall/etc. compatible with the "build"

Isn't is reasonable to add corresponding optional functionality
into the buld process? For example, if -DSTATIC_TOOLCHAIN (or
pick any other name) is set, then:

1) build toolchain statically linked
2) use newly built libraries to link instead of libraries of
"build" host
3) set __MAKE_CONF to /dev/null to eliminate CPU optimization
(which is really not so important for toolchain).

It does not look dangerous, and it will break nothing since
administrator will hav to take special action to turn it on.
