*snort*
Well, the only support script here is "call rpmbuild with the right arguments" (and kmk, which is about running kernel cross-build conveniently and has nothing to do with building cross-toolchain itself).
I'll need to update that to more current gcc anyway (and see if that takes care of sh/sh64), so if you can dig those .spec out... throw them my way and I'll add them to repository.
How well do they handle the targets for which you have no glibc-dev binary rpms, BTW? I needed headers for ia64 and ppc64; both fortunately are among the generally supported targets...
