Not so much a "bunch" as a few good source examples illustrating how to 
package the chain for an arbitrary arch. Good parameterization is key. That 
way I can shop for my embedded architecture and then build an RPM from the 
example, changing just a macro at the top of the spec file, or overriding 
it on the rpmbuild command line, to create the tool chain for what I've 
chosen.

For example, one arch I'd consider building myself but wouldn't expect to 
see in Extras:
