I'm trying to build the stripped-down gcc, but it still fails after 
having added --disable-decimal-float --without-headers --with-newlib 
--disable-threads --disable-shared --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp.

I have also looked at crosstools-ng, but it also fails (at configure 
stage) because of automake.

Also, I'd like to avoid automatic scripts that do the job for me, 
because even if they work, I would not understand and learn anything 
about building a toolchains and cross-compilers. Instead what I probably 
really need is good documentation, but after having extensively searched 
the web I only found laconic or obsolete pages.
