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. g.
