My personal goal is to beable to cross-compile myself a final-system with fluxbox on it for my PDA.
Currently, there isn't a toolchain adjustment. First you install your linux headers. Then you build binutils. Then you install glibc headers (tricking glibc into thinking nptl for that arch exists). Then you build a cross-compiler for your arch and install glibc into the sysroot. In the end you have a toolchain where you can pass -L/usr/lib -lssl and ld will look for libssl.so in [sysroot]/usr/lib. It's a very interesting build process.
