No, I don't agree, because I don't understand why you cannot build the
new toolchain in the old kernel, or use a pre-built toolchain for that
matter (whether built by you or by somebody else).

No, you could build your own toolchain and save it somewhere, if you
don't want to rely on a build from somebody else.
