Some resources you might find helpful here are :

<https://crosstool-ng.github.io/>
<https://github.com/crazychenz/x-tools>

Although the "crosstools" project was primarily created for building 
cross-compiler toolchains, it works perfectly well when the target 
system is the same as the host system.  The aim is a complete toolchain, 
including include files, library, assembler, linker, compiler, and so 
on.  I've found it useful for making updated static gcc toolchains for 
old Linux systems where the distro toolchains are older, and you don't 
want to face the complications of having a system glibc newer than the 
distro version supports.
