General Information
Compiling programs on the LinkStation (native compiling) can take a very, very long time. A much faster method is to cross-compile programs using a cross-toolchain. A cross-toolchain allows you to compile code for the LinkStation on a faster computer with a different architecture, usually an i386/i686 desktop.
The cross-toolchains were built using the GPL source code provided by Buffalo Technology, custom kernel .configs, custom build scripts, and Dan Kegel’s crosstool scripts [1]. Three different toolchains are provided: (1) stock, (2) stable, and (3) unstable. See CHANGES for details.
Please be aware the cross-toolchains only come with the glibc library. You may need to install additional libraries and headers to be able to compile some programs. You can grab the additional libraries and headers from the OpenLink filesystem or from the LinkStationWiki [ipkg repository]. The first architecture is the build system while the second architecture is the target system.

Build your own toolchain
You can build your own cross-toolchain using the appropriate source code and the configuration files I have posted in the downloads area. Please see GeneralCrossToolchain for complete directions.
