It seems that many people (even outside the Linux kernel community) use

The latest compiler I find there is 4.9.0, which celebrated its third
birthday at the weekend, also has been superseded by 4.9.4 meanwhile.

So I took Segher's buildall scripts from [1] and threw binutils 2.28 and
GCC 6.3.0 at them.

I am belatedly catching up on this thread. It sounds like the
tilegx/tilepro issues were sorted out -- as someone noted, you need
to have the kernel headers available to build glibc. However, if
there are any outstanding tile issues, please feel free to loop me in!
