PTXdist (and this project is worth to check as well;
http://www.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist/index_en.html). And without looking
at crosstool-ng source too closely, it looks like ./configure and menuconfig
are used in the same way. So ./configure && make is used to build the tool itself
and menuconfig serves to configure toolchain options. Doesn't it seem reasonable
enough solution?
