Yeah, I remember.

Overall your patch was good. There are a few points I really want to get
fixed before inclusion:

1) do not build our own static zlib, use the distro's packaged one.

2) make the companion libraries build statically. I got burned twice, and
   bailed out. Start there: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html
   and look for --with-host-libstdcxx=

3) The rest was trivial eye-candy.

Also, forget about Firmware Linux, they're still using a pre-GPLv3 gcc which
IIRC wass 4.2.1, which means it does not need/use the companion libraries
that are now required with gcc-4.3 and 4.4.
