I don't find building cross-toolchains quite as easy as Al does, so I download and build with these (on i386): http://developer.osdl.org/dev/plm/cross_compile/ as Andrew has also mentioned in the past.
Or one can submit kernel patches for builds to an OSDL build machine which does 8 or 9 $ARCH builds.
