(a) The idiot thing was screwed wrt. binutils when the things were prefixed with e.g. sparc64-linux-gnu-$PROG; I managed to decipher where the paths were and just patch in the names of the crossutils. (b) The stuff produced broken kernels; I had to resort to native builds anyway (which far from ideal, since it target violates host/target separation), and lost money getting a second of its kind to repair that state of affairs.
