Okay, I'll bite: having a working toolchain again would be really nice!
Having me poking in the code would probably do more harm than good, so
I can offer something else: to revive the automatic build system for
the toolchain on armv4l, eg. http://www.netwinder.org/build/
which has been dead ever since Rebel.com went belly-up.
Would it be helpful to have this working again? Or would it just
duplicate functionality that already exists elsewhere?
