So that means if I am using the crosstool-0.28-rc37 tarball, there are no newer patches for gcc or glibc on your server? And thus I can't use let's say gcc-3.3.5 since there are no crosstool patches for it...?


You can, but you'll have to help out a bit.
When I add a new version of, say, gcc, what I do first
is just build without any patches; then, as I run into
problems, I bring patches forward from the previous
version one by one, verifying that each one still
solves a real problem.  You'll
probably see that fewer patches are needed for the
new version.  Once you have it working, submit a
patch that, um, adds the new patches :-)
