To build a Glibc toolchain I use the CLFS-embedded instructions mixed with
LFS instructions and I use the packages of the latest stable release. Same
discourse goes for a musl toolchain: clfs-embedded instructions and LFS
packages

https://github.com/landley/mkroot has a toolchain build script that
configures
Rich Felker's musl-cross-make for several architecture targets. There are
binaries of the output at http://mkroot.musl.cc/mcm-i686-gcc-7.3.0/ if you
want
to skip the source build. (What mkroot itself does is build minimal
boot-to-a-shell-prompt systems for each of those architectures.)

I'm also engaging with the Android NDK guys to try to get that fleshed out
a bit
more as a bionic build toolchain.

I don't have any glibc variants, but in theory there are debian toolchains
for
that? (Sorry, gnu/libc isn't very interesting anymore...)

I'm vaguely trying to do something like LFS for Android:

But that's a longish-term project aimed at a moving target...

My previous project along these lines was a lot closer to LFS:
