How to buil an i486 cross compiler for ABS?

The current gcc can build for i486 no problem. The problem is things that are statically linked.
For example, if you have libtar on your system, which is i686 and you compile pacman, it'll statically link to libtar. Even though pacman's instruction set is i486, libtar's is i686, so it won't work on an i486.

I read it whould work with the cross compiler. I build an cross compiler 3 month ago but it didn't work with static libs. Maybe I did it wrong. Is there a tutorial 4 arch? I want to build all base packages (including gcc, glibc and binutils) for an pentium 2 233 dual.
Thanks for help

That machine is, at worst, an i586. We already have an i586 repo for current.

I know this. I read this in the Mailing list, but I want to use the packages for older pc's too.
