While i haven't done this in a few years, but i used to do so in the
not terribly distant past,
using git read-tree/$GIT_DIR to check out binutils/gcc/newlib into one
working directory,
when building for multiple os * architecture combos shared code then
only had to be built once,
plus it allowed me to maintain patches directly in git.
