I usually use 3.0, though I try to remember to test with 2.96 from time to time. I haven't had much luck with 3.1 yet: it builds a working kernel for the simulator, but the kernel for the real machine dies early on. Haven't had time yet to investigate.

We posted something on this list a while ago (search for "recipe" or something like that). We haven't built a cross-compiler recently, so the recipe may not be perfectly accurate anymore. --david
