We already have all this: That's why I developed the LinuxBIOS test system that started producing binary images at a central point:

Did I miss something? Is this something that others can use? btw: the URL didn't point to anything other than a test report.
If someone feels the need for a cross development environment -- there's crosstool. You can easily build RPMs for all kinds of cross compiler versions for all kinds of platforms.
It is an interesting project, and we recommend everyone using LinuxBIOS in a commercial environment to use it. But that belongs into the corporate software development process, and not into linuxbios.
I agree, I've used crosstool before on different embedded projects. I suppose my suggestion to integrate crosstool into buildrom doesn't fly. I'll accept that. Give me some time to get a feel for what is LinuxBIOS responsibility and what isn't.
Just change your target config.lb to your known good tool chain and you're fine.
I did some digging in the Config.lb files and couldn't find an example. Do you have one? Is there any doc on how to control things like CC, CFLAGS and the like? I didn't realize things could be shunted this way.
