So the 'release candidate binary toolchain archive' will be in the
form of source, or of binary tarball? My guess would be that, if
binary toolchain users are going to look at a prerelease at all,
they'll only do so if it's already built for them.

Both.  There will be a tarball archive for the sources as well as the binaries.
