When I make OSF1 it starts off with some stashed away binaries of cc then remakes them using the sources.. then it remakes the libs with the new compilers then it remakes the compilers with the new libs and then old new compilers then compiles the rest of the tree using the new libs and new new compilers It doesn't touch what's on the host system for anything.. it even looks in the source tree for the /usr/share/mk stuff which BTW is based on the BSD stuff.
