All 3.x versions of GCC can be cross-compiled without patches, but they
won't compile much correctly and binutils won't generate working shared
executables.  Just grab 3.0.4 + patches and you should be fine.  Make sure
your binutils and glibc are patched as well.  DO NOT USE STOCK TOOLS FOR
SUPERH -- EVER.  Even MIPS targets usually require an outside, patched
toolchain.
