Why, of course there is!  crosstool.sh is an existence proof.
I know you want to build things yourself, but have you
at least tried running crosstool just to verify it can build
a toolchain?  If it does, then you can figure out what's wrong
with your script by comparison.

On first glance, I don't see anything wrong with the commands you gave, but
then I'm not the most observant sort in the world.
It would be helpful if you could give the error message you're
running into, and tell us what triggered it.
	
And, actually, it'd be helpful if you'd
create a reproducable test case by taking those commands you
pasted, putting them in a shell script, and actually running
it from scratch in a clean directory to verify it reproduces
the problem.  Once you have that, it's a lot easier for us to
reproduce the problem and see what you're missing.

That's fine.  (And that was my goal when writing crosstool.)
By the way, if you haven't already, be sure to check out the
tux@embeddedtux.org mailing list; it's like this one, but
strongly prefers the do-it-all-from-scratch approach you're following.
