Perhaps this has been answered and clarified in the past, but recently
while messing with the cross-compiler, it occurred to me that there
are two copies of the gcc cross-compiler (and some of the binutils)
created when ./configure --build-cross-tools is executed.

It seems that the primary compiler and tools are: generated/bin/i586-pc-haiku-*

But it appears that there is also a gcc and friends located in
generated/i586-pc-haiku/bin as well. What are these used for?

Forgive me if the paths are wrong, I'm repeating this from memory from
a couple days ago.

I think it would be helpful to understand what this is used for.

Thanks,

Urias
