The buildrpm.sh script in crosstool-0.35 is just:

TOOLCOMBOS="gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.2.2"
export TOOLCOMBOS
sh crosstool-0.35/buildsrpms.sh
mkdir -p result
for toolcombo in $TOOLCOMBOS; do
   cp rpmbuild/SRPMS/crosstool-$toolcombo*.src.rpm result
   rpm -i result/crosstool-$toolcombo*.src.rpm
   rpmbuild -bb  rpmbuild/SPECS/crosstool-$toolcombo*.spec --without all --with i686
   cp rpmbuild/RPMS/*/crosstool-$toolcombo*.rpm result
done

The important parameters are
    rpmbuild ...  --without all --with i686

Remove --without all --with i686 and rpmbuild will build toolchains
for all known working cpu types.  buildsrpms.sh looks in buildlogs
to see which ones work.

Or leave the --without all, and give --with your-favorite-cpu-type.

(Well, there's a problem with powerpc-foo
toolchains, for which a patch was recently contributed; I can
dig that up if you need it.)

What CPUs are you interested in?
