No. You have to build your own:
 - crosstool-NG does not build a zlib that is installed in the toolchain.
 - gcc does build a version for itself, so it is not available.

Crosstool-NG does not provide a BSP. Crosstool-NG only provides a toolchain:
 - C library, headers and libraries: glibc, eglibc, uClibc... Your pick.
 - compiler: gcc
 - binary utilities (assembler, linker...): binutils

That's all. If other tools are built, that's only for internal use, and it
is not installed with the toolchain.

Yann E. MORIN.
