wait a second..... forgive my ignorance but I thought space craft had nultiple computers to use as fail-safes. couldn't you shut down one, feed the new system into one of those, test it, and then use that to feed a second and then a third until all of them are updated?

Kevin,
  I started trying to play with this cross compile for the router awhile back and found crosstool. But I got too confused and stopped short of getting even a first run in. I agree that if this can be made to work, that is the best route for me to take. And I would be doing ppc from x64.

Mike,
It's been a long time since I had to build a cross compiler. What a bear
that task is! I fought and researched and learned a lot about it. Still
what ultimately helped me accomplish it was the work that was started by
Dan Kegel on a tool called crosstool.

http://kegel.com/crosstool/

That tool didn't have exactly the support for what I needed at the time but
I found it cleanly designed and easily updatable to accomplish what I was
targeting (Which was ppc from x86).

Building a toolchain takes many hours of compiling and lots of frustrations
when some error during the process... Im not sure if crosstool has been
updated in a long time but it might be worth looking at least as some
instructions in script form.

Good luck!
