First off, there is no silver-bullet to versions that do what you want
:)

on x86, i usually use selected snapshots of busybox, uClibc and normally
use gcc-4_2-branch, 4.1.1 should work just fine. Binutils 2.17 and the
2.17.x.y.z.a.b.c version tend to work for me. I normally select generic
x86 device to build a kernel to play with. The 2.6.19 kernel (also used
for the kernel-headers) works satisfactorily well for me, as do the
headers.

I strip that silly -Werror off busybox' Makefile.flags, of course, as i
have gcc patches that make compilation a bit verbose and would prevent
alot of code to build with -Werror, fwiw.
