May I suggest having a look at http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/ ?
It downloads and builds gcc, binutils, and glibc -- and then

My crosstool scripts support gcc-2.9x through gcc-3.3 and glibc-2.2.3 through glibc-3.3. Also, Hollabaugh's scripts don't run the binutils, gcc, or glibc regression tests; mine do. You can see my regression results at http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/current/summaries/

That's interesting, do you plan a debian packaging for all that?

Yes. I plan to target RPM, .deb, and .lsb. (I'd prefer to just target .lsb, and will probably use alien to convert the .lsb's to .deb, if that's how Debian likes to install .lsb's.)

Ugh, a 'real' .deb package is better... I could volunteer for that...

Hey, that'd be awesome. How do you generate multiple .deb's from one source tarball? Can you have a tiny .deb.src (or whatever) for each processor type that just has a few parameters, and depends on a main .deb.src that has the real stuff?

One of these days, we've got to get past the bias against LSB
packages.  Does Debian really not cope well with them?
