Linux UML - Need gcc on the UML instance. Would like to mount gcc from hostfs

Question

I know how to mount the hostfs directories when needed for my UML Linux instance.

I need to get gcc and all it's dependencies from my host Linux instance by mounting the files in my UML instance.

I think the paths are not working properly because it comes up with an error about cc1 and execvp when I mount all files and try to run gcc.

Any ideas? Thanks!

@honk: He is talking about User mode linux;

@zach:What did you mount and where did you mount? also as what user? you may not have enough permissions. Its always better to install it in instance than use it from host, even though it is possible (AFAIK).
