That's what we do for sparc64. On x86_64, this would solve the memory limit issue. Only for binutils and gcc, before compiling the kernel, we add a stage where we cross-compile another binutils/gcc. No lib is cross-compiled. Supplemental work is very minimal. I don't know if it's clean to do this way but this is reported to work. The only problem I know actually is that I was not able to run make check on this cross-compile-gcc.
