I would be happy to provide a single script tailored for this purpose.
Total runtime for the script would be under a day on a 1GHz machine, I think.
What's the appropriate list of targets? My first guess is:
arm, i686, ia64, m68k, mips, powerpc750, powerpc970, s390, sh4, x86_64
What's the desired output format? Something similar to
http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc37/buildlogs/0.28/
(but for only one version of gcc/glibc/binutils), I imagine.
