I didn't try this, so I don't know if it's feasible. - build packages in a PPA, say, for an "old" release, e.g. hardy, including mpfr, ppl, and other dependencies. - unpack a set of deb's with dpkg -x - relocate to /usr/local, or /opt/linaro. The toolchain itself should be relocatable - pack a tarball. Again, not tried, but this way you would end up with exactly the same binaries that you provide in a PPA.
