Building with Uclibc

Well, this is what I have been doing so far. Which is great and all...
but...
I want to know (eg learn) what makes it 'tick'...

For this reason alone I have been looking at the Firmware build for a
peek...
It's much easier to understand what is going on...

I think I have got it down now...

 1. Download and compile uClibc...
 2. Download and compile BinUtils (1)
 3. Download and compile gcc for 'cross-compiling'
    Eg a gcc that can target uClibc but is built using glibc
 4. Recompile gcc using the just built gcc compiler...
    Eg a gcc that targets Uclibc and is built using Uclibc...

Now this shouldn't be that hard (right?!?)

Please correct me if I'm wrong here...
Cheers,
