Maybe you could add a summary of all the differences for compiling a x86-64 toolchain as well...

Alright I corrected a few minor typos here and there. Works great. Binutils 2.18, gcc 4.2.2, newlib 1.15.
I found that when I changed any of the config (even as simple as a missing semicolon in one of my source files) I had to erase the build directory and redo that part. Just calling configure and make wouldn't work for me.
I have an 80386SX 20MHz 2MB RAM.
It is my testbed platform. Only has the 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives.
