I've done just such a thing. I've used the codesourcery toolchain for
powerpc which uses glibc. It works well for me.
The reason I did it was that I was having trouble getting buildroot to
produce a reliable crosscompiler for powerpc and wanted to use something
known-good and stable since gcc cross compilers still seem to have a bit
of black-magic associated with building one that works and what patches
are required, especially in PPC land.
