Building a gcc cross compiler

This was based on an example from http://www.arklyffe.com/main/content/arm-gcc-toolchain-build, but I had to use --disable-multilib to get gcc to compile. Or else, it would fail some of its ./configuration steps (I think for instance libz failed).

Note that gcc is built twice, once to get a boot strap compiler that can compile newlib for the target platform, and then again to compile gcc to use newlib as its C library.
