Some days ago, I tried pcr/crosstool-ng on an x86_64 machine with 8G of
ram, to build a gcc-4 cross toolchain for ARM with no libc (bare
metal). It is very easy to use, this time it worked out of the box.

It also seems to be able to generate toolchains for powerPC 64bit
little endian but I didn't test that.
