The NetBSD -current source has a script 'build.sh' that automagically
builds the (cross) tools, and then builds the system using those tools.
While it might not do exactly what you want, you can probably figure
out the magical incantations neccessary for your builds by looking at
how the NetBSD build system works.

Feel free to ask me if you have questions about build.sh.
