I've changed nothing but the cpu type in the config files.

I suppose not, because they usually compile natively, not cross. And I'm
just too lazy to wait until a 50 MHz ARM machine has compiled all 13000
debian unstable packets ;)

We don't really use strongarm, it was just the one who supported all of
the above SoCs. Btw, why is there a difference on a per-SoC base,
shouldn't that be something like ARMv4 vs. ARMv5 etc?

That would be pretty cool; until now I just followed the lazy path and
used what crosstool provided, which was non-multilib and strongarm
optimization.
