Hi, Quite a while ago I tried going through a similar process. I found at the time the debian toolchain-source package helped in this process. There is however one thing you seem to have missed - you tend to need subtely different versions of gcc and binutils for each combination. It certainly used to be the case that every architectures kernel used to have different known issues in both gcc and binutils; and there was a fair amount of 'oh don't use that version, it produces broken kernels' with different answers for each architecture. At one time I tried to make a summary page showing where the kernel source and tools are for each architecture; but I never kept it upto date.
