Yep. You should be able to find a pre-compiled package for i386-linux
hosts
from MontaVista, (www.mvista.com) I think RedHat has cross-compile stuff
too. The LART has a toolchain as well 
(http://www.lart.tudelft.nl/lartware/compile-tools/)

No. You don't even need Glibc at all. All you need to compile
the kernel is binutils and GCC for C.
Add to that Glibc and you can compile any C program for Linux.
Then you need to do the second stage of GCC for C++ programs,
but fortunately there aren't that many out there.
