CT-NG was used to build an ARM x-compiler which in turn was used to build the kernel. Sorry I didn't explain that too well.

Or something else? Both the old crosstool (that no-one should be using) and crosstool-ng do *NOT* build the kernel, so what you're saying doesn't make sense here. They use kernel /headers/ to build a toolchain, but that's all they do with the kernel.
