Kernel-only compiler should work, but compilation of a
userland-capable compiler doesn't right now (no sys/limits.h IIRC.) If
you're interested, I can make my Nemo send you emails upon each
compilation try he does.

I only use vax-linux-uclibc...  build_toolchain should apply a number
of patches, one may fiddle with target configuration. In fact,
gcc-000003-add-vax-linux-target.patch is responsible for that.

No, it's not!  You're obviously missing at least one patch; probably
all others, too...
