crosstool supported gcc 2.95.x last time I checked, 2.7.2.x is probably
helpless for automated crosscompilers, but we could ask the mac68k folks
at sf.net what they use.
gcc 3.4 is supposed to be much better for m68k, and should be included
in crosstool soon. Note that the compilers don't have to match the
ones on the buildds exactly - although there's some reasons one compiler
is fine and others are, but for 90% of the problems the exact compiler
shouldn't matter - after all it's not the images that should go into
the archive.
