Lucas, I started pretty much the same as you last year around may. I did a lot of research / reading early on, and have had a bit of experience with different gcc toolchains for different platforms. Previous to this I did a lot of reading about the gcc port for the MSP430, so I really did not want to spend a lot of time figuring out how to build my own toolchain using crosstool-ng ( even though I did a bunch of reading on the subject ).
Also, as far as I know, you can setup / link to other libc's by configuring the Linaro toolchain. I did a little reading on the subject to think I know it is possible, but I'm no expert either. Since then I have started thinking differently, about my own projects, and shifted more towards using Nodejs( when possible ) versus using only natively compiled executables. http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black This link may be a good resource for you in how everything is setup. I've used this myself to build my own custom images that are relatively very small. One such image has standard tools such as openssh-server, ntpdate, Nodejs with express, and socket.io installed in as little as 191M space. Anyway, it seems to me that you'll probably want to at least eventually be running ARCH on your BBB. Aside from letting you know that it has been done by others already, I can offer very little assistance with that.
