We're currently holding the One-Big-RPM vs. Multiple-Not-So-Big-RPMS debate, but we actually have built a cross toolchain and packaged it as an RPM, since you can do that in an SRPM; if you have multiple SRPMS you have to have some synchronization logic for the bootstrapping and we don't have that currently. It's not aligned with the Fedora toolchain, but it's close. It's currently one package with gcc-4.2.1, binutils-2.17 and glibc-2.6. I'm also pretty sure it's never been built using a mock chroot, so getting all this going in koji is going to be an "interesting" exercise. But I'm willing to give it a shot. Well, me and Brendan that is :) You interested?
