Easy.

What config file? If I understand you correctly, the aim for
this new
target is to create one, not using a pre-existing one.

arch, cpu, ...)
Not that easy. I've thought about it already. Think about
ARM where we might
end up with headers specific to the target _platform_ (eg.
IXP4xx, versatile,
etc...) crosstool-NG can not guess that for you.

That would be a burden to maintain between kernel versions.
We could simplify your suggested "kernelconfig"
target by simply calling
kernel's menuconfig with ARCH set to the correct value.

I've thought of that too. But how would CT guess you need
such or such
uClibc's option (eg.regexp, strings optimisations, etc...).
Also the CPU
choice in uClibc is not easy to match to the user's provided
CPU in CT.

For ct-ng: there are defaults in the .in files. If you were
thinking of more
specific defaults per-targets, there is the
"samples" directory that will
eventually contain a larger set.

That's already done. And it doesn't point to the
_kernel_source_ headers, but
to those installed (sanitised or headers_install'ed).
I will think about your suggestions. Again, patches are
welcome! 
Thanks,
