I want to experiment with crosstool-ng, and yes I think the binaries
should go on kernel.org. The current toolchains on kernel.org are
built by Tony Breeds using Segher Boessenkool's buildall scripts (gcc
only, no glibc). There are patches to buildall which will build a
libc, but I haven't had much success with them.
