I don't > know ... you might also want to have a look at the idea behind PTXdist (see http://www.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist_en.html) which is also able to build toolchains and do all the necessary tweaking, without building a glibc (just only run 'make xchain-gccstage1' to get a compiler without glibc). It follows the same approach for the patch repositories like Dan and we are syncing heavily. The whole toolchain building is a huge mess at the moment. Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.
