Yeah, I could document how I build the latest system I've done.

Well, the Xtensa bits are a bit complicated, because Xtensa supports
configurable CPU cores, so they have some strange Perl scripts that are
needed when building the toolchain. But this Xtensa support has never
been updated since it has been merged quite some time ago, and no
active contributor has any Xtensa hardware platform to test the changes
on, so maybe we could drop the support for Xtensa altogether.
Regards,
Thomas
