Or build them all at once, with a unified tree.  Try
<URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html>: add "make install",
but strip dejagnu and gdb parts to taste.  Alternatively, using
tarballs with gcc, binutils and newlib instead of CVS, with
releases reasonably in phase, just untar them into the same
directory, then configure --target=..., make and make install.

The simulator targets (most of them) are actually bare-bones
*-elf cross-toolchains; the simulator is an add-on from the gdb
package.  Neccessary I/O libraries are built as part of the
newlib/libgloss package.

It's not rocket science.
