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.
