[uClibc] Building uClibc gcc for a target

Howdy all,
Since cross compiling some programs can just be an absolute pain,
I wanted to build a target development environment and just
build everything inside of it. So I grabbed a copy of the
toolchain builder and created me a nice i386 uclibc cross
compiler.
As we all know, however, that is meant to run on the build
platform, in this case an i686 glibc. I wanted to create a
compiler that could run natively on an i386 uclibc. So I grabbed
a copy of the GCC sources and tried to do a compile ... which
failed miserably. I passed it CC=${CROSS_PREFIX}gcc and
--host=i386-linux, and yet during the second stage of the
./configure script (one of the sub dirs), it said the host/target
system was i686-pc-linux-gnu (the build system).
So, in a nutshell, how do I build a copy of gcc that will
actually run on the target platform?
Thanks!
