I'll add a link to those in my crosstool doc, thanks for the link!

Note that Hollabaugh's scripts only support gcc-2.9x and glibc-2.2.3;
he hasn't discovered the nasty things needed to support gcc-3.x or glibc-2.3.x yet.
My crosstool scripts support gcc-2.9x through gcc-3.3
and glibc-2.2.3 through glibc-3.3.
Also, Hollabaugh's scripts don't run the binutils, gcc, or glibc
regression tests; mine do.  You can see my regression results
at http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/current/summaries/
This was a bit of a trick; took me a month to work out and
document how to run those tests remotely.
