I got started on this, but ran into some troubles. The GCC snapshot gcc-4.2-20070207 is no longer available, so I tried to build the tools using the released version of gcc-4.2.2. This went pretty well, until I tried to build busybox: /opt/OSELAS.Toolchain-1.1.0/i586-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-4.2.2-glibc-2.5-kernel-2.6.18/sysroot-i586-unknown-linux-gnu/usr/include/sys/syscall.h:32:27: error: bits/syscall.h: No such file or directory So, it looks like some pieces are missing.
