This bug http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35532 explored the issue of using sysroot for native builds and it appears the consensus is not to support retargeted compilers anymore for native builds, and that the sysroot framework should be used even though some people are still stating that it is for cross compiling only. I'll be opening a new bug on the sysroot problems I'm having with 4.3 since it appears no one has tried a combined gcc + binutils bootstrap with sysroot (or at least I can't find a bug on it in gcc bugzilla). Thanks for all the help. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35752
