Why is building a cross compiler "out-of-the-box" always broken?

Great! Scripting is wonderful and I don't object to multiple cycles 
either. Care to hit me with a clue-bat and post your script so I can 
find what I did wrong?  It sound's like other people have 
"out-of-the-box" problems too. I'll patch my scripts and turn them loose 
on ~20 tool chain builds.
