We would benefit very much from having someone who actually maintains a suite of cross-compilers for kernel developers.
Yes, the stuff I put together is very old and at the time crosstool was horridly hard to use. Hardly any combinations of anything actually worked - what you see there is about 5% of the toolchains I had to build. Apparently is has become better.

That sounds suspiciously like "thou shalt use debian". I was so traumatised by dselect ten years ago that I don't think I could afford the therapy bills.
