I think Ulrich is implying that you'll have to support Syllable
yourself, including patches to glibc necessary to build the
toolchain for Syllable, as well as the add-on bits.  This apparently
is the norm for cross-compiling glibc for many of the non-standard
targets.  I guess that now includes non-standard operating systems. :) 

Look at Dan Kegel's great work at www.kegel.com/crostool/ where you'll
find lots of patches to glibc necessary for cross-compilation, and
maybe you can get your patches incorporated into his tool for your target...
