I also had success using crosstool. Thanks to all those who gave me tips both on the list and via email.
I do have a another question, though. Let's say that I want to use my own kernel instead of having crosstool download it. What would be the proper set of steps to take to specify a local kernel? My current kernel is 2.4.20 and I know that the combination of gcc and glibc that I want to use with crosstool specifies 2.4.21. I'll probably work on bumping my kernel up.
