Hello,
I'm trying to build a toolchain for an old Arm926 core that's running linux
kernel v2.6.35.3. That kernel isn't in the default list, likely since it's
so far past EOL. In my reading I found
https://crosstool-ng.github.io/docs/internals/ page in the docs, but I
don't quite grok how the kernel.in/kernel.sh files define the different
kernel versions available. Is there a simple path to getting support for
the old kernel setup?
I'm open to running an older version of crosstool-NG that has support, but
I'm not sure how to figure out what the correct version would be?

Changelog. Check the changelog of kernel and GCC for release dates.
Say v2.6.35.3 is from februari 2006. Then find the GCC
that existed in those days.
