The problem is that for our PTXdist users (PTXdist uses crosstool
internally) normal people, using normal distributions, should be able to
build a cross toolchain, which means that we are more or less fixed to
what the distributions have these days. And that's what even Debian
Unstable currently has. 

But if it doesn't work, it doesn't work :-)

No, we mainly use PXA255, PXA270, h720x, i.MX, netX and NetSilicon CPUs.
The thing is that, for a generic ARM softfloat toolchain, it should be
generic. And setting the cpu to strongarm gave us toolchains which
worked on all these architectures.
