I've built an arm-linux-gnueabi cross compiler before on Arch Linux by using the instructions here: http://www.archlinuxuser.com/2013/07...bi-gcc-on.html. Although, the packages don't build the correct version of glibc among other things. If you use another distribution, you could run the shell commands in the PKGBUILDs yourself.

There's a git repository for the 2015 WPILib at https://usfirst.collab.net/sf/sfmain...rojects.wpilib, but it's not publicly viewable.
