all right, so I misunderstood, I need to build gcc on system X to run on 
system Y.

Buildroot also builds gcc which works on let's say x86 and makes 
binaries for mipsel/uclibc).

I need the gcc binaries which will work on mipsel, and which will build 
for mipsel.

Crosstool by default builds the binaries on system X that will run on 
system X and build for Y.

So now I have binaries that build for mipsel/uclibc on x86, but I can't 
build gcc that will work on mipsel/uclibc with it.
