It sounds more complicated than what we do. We just build bfin-elf,
build uClibc with it, and build up the bfin-*linux* compilers. Just
three simple steps. What do you do for ARM uClinux?

No native compilers - I don't think the linux nommu memory manager would
be very happy about running gcc. Running the testsuite is bad enough.
