Dans la trad. d'un romand de SF d'une autrice US : "C'est l'hôpital qui se fout de la charité !"
C'est improbable que ce soit la même expression en anglais US !
L'expression correspondante : "That’s the pot calling the kettle black." Soit, "C'est la marmite qui dit que la bouilloire est noire !"
On faisait chauffer marmites et bouilloire sur le feu, noircissant les culs des deux..
Plus courant "Look who’s talking!"
Moins con ce soir je me coucherai !

A chicken egg tool is a tool, in this case the GCC compiler, which you need in your GNU Linux Operating System to compile your programs.
The GCC compiler needs to be compiled first.
This means that you need another C compiler, to compile your GCC compiler.
The other C compiler will need to reside in another Operating System.
In this specific example of building a GNU Linux multi tasking Operating System from the MS-DOS single tasking operating system, I used the Turbo C compiler, which was written by Borland. The Turbo C compiler, is a proprietary Closed Source compiler, which is delivered as a executable, not in source code.
Armed with the Turbo C compiler, I ran the following command sequence for compiling GCC
./configure
make test
# this runs the assembler program too
make
I did not run 'make install' because GCC needs to be installed in GNU Linux. I also used switches so that a Linux ELF Binary executable was created, not a MS-DOS executable binary.
The last step was to do a raw write of the GCC binary to the Linux file system.

Distributions are interwoven with the GNU principles.
Before distributions I would have to download the GNU program Source Code one by one, then cross compile (GCC for example) them.
Once chicken egg tools were cross compiled I could start with native
./configure; make; make test; make install

Specifically, free software means users have the four essential freedoms: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.

These are important pillars of Free Software

About GNU
GNU was launched in 1983 by Richard Stallman
Quote
The primary and continuing goal of GNU is to offer a Unix-compatible system that would be 100% free software. Not 95% free, not 99.5%, but 100%. The name of the system, GNU, is a recursive acronym meaning GNU's Not Unix—a way of paying tribute to the technical ideas of Unix, while at the same time saying that GNU is something different. Technically, GNU is like Unix. But unlike Unix, GNU gives its users freedom.

Realize this
Without GNU, Linux {distributions} would *not* exist. You would only have a kernel after boot, no user land programs
Be grateful for the existence of GNU
