As the 4.3.3 compiler was not working with the newest trunk, here is the solution to install a new compiler that works.

Here is the whole process for the impatient, just copy + paste in a console (emulator):

#!/bin/sh
# Builds a arm-elf cross compiler for use on linux
# host systems. This target has no file system or kernel.
#
# Edited 2013-09-13 to bump minor versions for upstream 
#  bugfixes, and disable building of gcc's texinfo 
#  documentation, to address a known issue building gcc4.5 
#  docs with texinfo>5, shown here:
#  https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/13039
