I already maintain cross compilers for my own use and the uClibc.org guys, 
along with little root filesystems and system images bootable under qemu:

  http://uclibc.org/downloads/binaries

We're about to start doing nightly builds based on uClibc snapshots, I could 
easily get our server to do similar nightly builds based on the git version 
kernel headers and upload 'em to 
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/landley/ if there's any interest...
