Thanks! I haven't thought of that! :)

So I could use an existing platform, write a code generator 
(or description thereof if supported), and then use it as a cross
compiler. Then I could compile all the tools and libraries needed
on the target platform for GCC to compile itself.

Which GCC version would you recommend for doing that?
