I was wondering if it would be possible to package this up in a way that
would be easy to install.

For e.g., a cross-toolchain package, which requires all the other
packages -- gcc, binutils, etc. (not sure how to deal with glibc in that
context). So, you can just do:

yum install cross-toolchain-arm

and, you have everything you need.
