- tshepang 12y agoNo one implied people are expected to compile every compiler they want to use on every system they want to use it. Point was it's not hard. Maybe link to a message where you detailed your troubles?

If you're dealing with bare metal projects (kernel programming or micro controllers), building binutils and gcc for cross compiling from source is pretty much required. There are scripts that help and some distros have cross compilers in their package managers. But building GCC is not difficult and it pretty much works first time, every time.
