@mnwcsult: The text file in my kindle-x-tc archive is more or less a terminal history dump of what I do on *my* system to build a cross toolchain using crosstool NG, and the stuff used in my hacks.
So, while it is pretty much tied to my system (and relies on Gentoo distfiles & patches, and some of it from my local overlay at that

), if you're familiar with things, it shouldn't be too hard to use this on any other system.
And if you only need a cross-toolchain anyway, that part isn't really tied to my system at all, except for the paths used

.
That's enough for me since I don't build a lot of stuff, but if you intend to build invasive/complex stuff, I'd recommend using a buildroot-like tool (The author or Savory, which included a stripped down Python+Calibre env, used the stuff from OSELAS for example).
