Thanks for this David and thanks to all others (especially Adrian for his
script) for your tips. I managed to get a working compiler again!

If you download buildroot from "buildroot.uclibc.org" you can easily create 
a cross compiler.
By doing make menuconfig you get a menu where you can select architecture 
(arm)
gcc (up to 4.2.1) binutils (normally 2.17)

Needs to be run under Linux ....
