Is the specific tool chain in question available somewhere for testing?
Sure thing; the Linaro toolchain is available in source form from: https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain more specifically the GCC branch: https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro (there are tarball downloads or you can check it out with bzr)
There are some pre-built packages for the development series of Ubuntu ("maverick"), "apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi" should do the trick. There aren't any other pre-built binaries available yet though (well there are some Debian armhf one, but don't think you care about these). If you're running Ubuntu 10.04 ("lucid"), these instructions allow installing the maverick packages: https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/CrossCompilerOnLucid
NB: the Ubuntu binaries are built for eglibc (linux-gnu-eabi), i.e. not no-libc.
