Getting started
From the project's README ("Build toolchain"):
./buildk4.sh
If at some point in the future the above command fails because some of the requires files are no longer available at their previous URLs then you can find a backup inf the repo fread-ct-ng-backup which you can use like so:
cd ~/crosstool-ng-workdir/ mkdir -p .build git clone https://github.com/fread-ink/fread-ct-ng-backup .build ct-ng build
and the build should complete correctly.
Risk and recovery
