This requires a few minor changes to the dist to use the libraries (glibc/uClibc) from the toolchain instead of building them within the dist.
Pros: - latest versions, more features supported (NPTL, ARM V7 support (in gcc 4.3), EABI, etc), numerous defect-fixes - faster build time (doesn't build glibc or uClibc during the dist build) Cons: - no multilib support (you'll need two toolchains if you build for both hard and soft float targets) - not sure if non-MMU targets are supported (I only use MMU-enabled targets so I've never tried). Anyway these toolchains are working well for us on both x86 & ARM (using glibc in both cases).
