For those who are interested, I provide a full ~30 page instructions
on how to build a cross toolchain for Linux targets from scratch in
my book:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/belinuxsys/

I've also set up a table for providing up-to-date toolchain component
version combinations:
http://www.embeddedtux.org/gnu-tools.html

If you have any version combinations to submit, feel free to send them
to the embeddedTUX.org mailing list for others to review. The table
of combinations will be updated accordingly.

Cheers,

Karim
