Hi Raffaele, "Gentoo Cross Development Guide" is deprecated in favour of Gentoo Embedded project, which so far seems to suit my needs. I had a quick look on CodeSourcery's products a few days ago, but in freely available version they don't seem to offer me more than toolchain compiled with crossdev. Maybe I'm wrong and if I'll get stuck I'll give them a go. AFAIK the biggest disadvantage of crossdev-created toolchain, compared to other cross compilation tools, is that without usage of emulator (like qemu-user) it is not possible to compile things that use in their configure scipts checks that need to be run on the target architecture (like Perl). Sticking to arm-none-linux-gnueabi-emerge offers quite a lot of comfort so far, so I'll see where I can get. Thanks for your tips!
