Cross Linux From Scratch (http://cross-lfs.org/) helped too, though some of the things they do are frankly psychotic, particularly with gcc's spec file (seriously: ignore all of that and just use CFLAGS and LDFLAGS). I've also got a side-side project going on to do a radically simplified Linux userland (as few code paths as possible), and that's pretty straightforward from Sabotage (even if sabotage isn't doing what you're doing, it's worth reading what they're doing: https://github.com/sabotage-linux/sabotage) as well as the good people at suckless (http://suckless.org).
