I wouldn't "buy" it either, but for development, I'd *prefer* to be
able to build gcc, binutils, GNU libc, Linux right out of their
CVS/SVN/GIT repositories to catch breakages early.

I've hacked a script that builds me a vax-linux-uclibc toolchain
exactly for that purpose. And it does a good job (except that there's
an unfixed GCC bug which makes GCC unuseable for this target right
now.)

But after all, the rarely used architectures break too easy in midend
changes, so that should be easy to monitor.
