Nicu,

You can get the cross-compile tool chains from the monta vista ftp
site.  These tools are considered stable and recommeded - at least
before Ralf shows his latest toys. :-0

1. binutils 2.8.1
2. egcs 1.0.3a
3. glibc 2.0.6

The ftp site is 

ftp.mvsiat.com:/pub/Area51/ddb-5476/

Hopefully before the end of this weekend, there will a little more
updated release with a new name prefix, some bug fixes and for both
little endiand and big endian.  The current one is for little endian. 
If you know how to use rpm, you can create your own big-endian tools
pretty easily.
