Excellent question :-) I didn't realize this until you asked. I just used:

./tools/addToolVersion.sh --gcc 4.2.4
ct-ng menuconfig

selected gcc 4.2.4 and everything worked. No patches at all.

Great! It is very close to what I managed to build. BTW, the patch that 
Kem proposed solves the missing asm/page.h problem, but not the missing 
asm/elf.h problem. I couldn't find anything in the archives about this, 
as suggested by Yann.

I am, however, pretty close to solve the problem with binutils 2.18 and 
using glibc>=2.5. From what I understand, I need 1 more patch to 
accomplish this. Hopefully I am right!
