What do you mean here - what else than stage 1 can a cross compiler be?!

Normally when you build a toolchain you first have to build a compiler which is able to work without glibc headers (needs only to have C support). Then you use it to build glibc and afterwards you recompile your compiler with glibc support and whatever languages you need.

Gotcha... I thought you were referring to gcc's terminology of "stages". There, anything higher thant stage 1 is compiled by itself which obviously won't work cross.

What you call stage1 is sometimes (and in Elinos, too) called a "bootstrap gcc".

However: u-boot should be compilable with such a bootstrap gcc, as it should not be dependent on glibc. (It is bad enogh for it to be so dependent on several Linux headers, but that is a compromise to be able to reuse code from Linux - we had that before).
