Unfortunately, the current setup requires a bit of digging in, and for some reason, it seems to be a daunting task for many. That's one great thing about the one-tree build that RedHat/Cygnus uses, no hassle builds for a myriad a of host-target combos. And that's why embedded system developers pay for commercial support, the cost of which may seem atrocious when you first see it, but you soon find out that it's well worth it.
