Out of curiosity, are you by any chance looking for a toolchain to
support the 2.6.4 xenomai kernel? Or is this just for compatibility
for an older system?

If it's the later, you could checkout a branch of an older version of
crosstool-ng. Now easier with git: git checkout -b
branchforoldersupport 1.2
