1.10 -Seemingly-native toolchains are toolchains that target the same architecture
1.11 -as the one it is built on, and on which it will run, but the machine tuple
1.12 -may be different (eg i686 vs. i386, or x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu vs.
1.13 -x86_64-pc-linux-gnu). This also applies if the target architecture is of the
1.14 -same kind (eg. x86 vs. x86_64, or ppc vs. ppc64).

1.16 -Such toolchain is tricky to build, as the configure scripts may incorrectly
1.17 -assume that files (headers and libs) from the build (or host) machine can be
1.18 -used by the cross-compiler it is going to build. The problem seems to arise
1.19 -only with glibc (and eglibc?) starting with version 2.7.
