That was also my intention :-)

I've got now a running cross compiler (without compilation of binutils 
and gcc because they already exist in the system).
After some experiments I got a first test application ("Hello World" 
TOS application) to compile nicely.
To do this I moved the MiNT-Lib arround.

So I have now some general questions about cross-compiling and GCC:
I've build and installed the cross-compiler using 
"--prefix=/usr/local/cross-tools". This gives me
a file tree like this (in the /usr/local/cross-tools folder):
	bin/
		m68k-atari-mint-addr2line
         m68k-atari-mint-ar
		m68k-atari-mint-as
		m68k-atari-mint-c++
			...
		m68k-atari-mint-readelf
		m68k-atari-mint-size
		m68k-atari-mint-strings
		m68k-atari-mint-strip
	include/
		c++/
			3.3.3/
				...
	info/
		...
	lib/
		gcc-lib/
			...
	m68k-atari-mint/
		bin/
			ar
			as
			c++
			...
			ranlib
			strip
		lib/
			libiberty.a
			libstdc++.a
			...
	man/
		...
	share/
		...


Can anyone explain me what are all the directories for?
Why is there in the m68k-atari-mint/bin/ folder the same program as in 
bin/ but the name has no "m68k-atari-mint" prefix?
If I want to install/compile an atari library for use with my cross 
compiler, do I have to put the include and lib files in include/ and 
lib/ folder or into m68k-atari-mint/lib and  m68k-atari-mint/include 
folder?

My problem is: where do I have to put the mintlib files for a proper 
cross-compiler installation?
And in the future: How should I compile applications? (Using 
bin/m68k-atari-mint-gcc or
m68k-atari-mint/bin/gcc?) What's the difference?

(I know there is no difference because I didn't compile GCC for the 
Apple platform! And I used the compiler/binutils delivered with Apples 
development kit which are located in /usr/bin/ instead of 
/usr/local/cross-tools/)
