Compile GCC with Code Sourcery

Question

Hi, Is it possible to compile native GCC for ARM (host == target == ARM) using Code Sourcery G++? If it is not possible, could I use crosstool-NG to build the cross-compile and then using this one for compiling the native ARM GCC?

Thank you,

Edit: as to why: I'm creating my own distro for beagleboard...

CodeSourcery provides prebuilt toolchains only for Linux/x86 and Windows (see "Host System Requirements" here). If you want a native ARM-hosted toolchain, you should be able to build one using a cross-compiler. If you want a prebuilt one, you can try some of the existing ARM distros such as Debian-arm, or Aboriginal Linux (it's made to be run in QEMU but you can probably extract the compiler from it and run natively).
