I suspect that you can just build the crosstools on a
'lowest common denominator' system, e.g. Red Hat 7.3,
and end up with tools that will run properly on all
systems.

I don't know how to configure statically linked gcc's,
but people have done it (see e.g.
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-09/msg00797.html),
so perhaps you should ask on the main gcc list
and report back :-)
