Comment (by mingwandroid):

 I used:

 http://www.google.co.uk/ig/directory?type=gadgets&url=echo3.net/dcalc/gadget.xml

 .. and entered "now - 413911773 seconds" and it said:

 "Monday, 28-Aug-2000"

 gnutar will extract files with the date stamp as embedded in the archives;
 having these dates 13 years in the future is likely to cause the build
 failure you are seeing. I think you need to fix your date at "the-date-of-
 the-most-recent-tarball-that-you-use + 1 second" or something like that.
 Mike's input on this would be very useful.

 Of course if you've got solutions to any of these issues that require
 options being added to crosstool-ng then I can try to make those changes
 and get them merged when everything is working.
