Robert P. J. DAY says:

apparently, the patchset for gcc 4.2.1 applies properly to the
source for gcc 4.2.2 and gcc 4.2.3. so, if you want, you can simply
add support for those last two just by augmenting menuconfig and
adding a couple symlinks for those two directories. seems like a
cheap way to add a couple new versions.
     1 I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:
     2 
     3   Dan KEGEL, the original author of crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/
     4     Dan was very helpfull and willing to help when I build my first toolchains.
     5     I owe him one. Thank you Dan!
     6     Some crosstool-NG scripts have code snippets coming almost as-is from the
     7     original work by Dan.
     8 
     9 And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:
    10 
    11   Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.
    12     Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG on his
    13     MacOS-X, and unveiled some bash-2.05 weirdness.

    42 Special dedication to the buildroot people for maintaining a set of patches I
    43 happily and shamelessly vampirise from time to time... :-)
