Not usually.  There is one combination that doesn't
build on Red Hat 7.1; see http://gcc.gnu.org/PR9552
and the mention of PR9552 in crosstool-howto.html.
Other than that I haven't seen any strange problems
based on what Linux distro you build crosstool with.
(Well, OK, there was a problem on bash-3.0 systems
like SuSE 9.2, but that was a bug in gcc's configure script,
and I now have patches to fix it.)

Nah, I'll have an expanded build matrix soon.
