Sure.  It's all documented at

http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc37/doc/crosstool-howto.html

Once you have downloaded and unpacked
http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc37.tar.gz
all you have to do is edit demo-i686.sh,
uncomment the gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.1.3 line, and
run demo-i686.sh.  You'll need to create /opt/crosstool
and make it writable by you first.

Note that you can reliably use that toolchain to build
dynamically linked executables that will run on a redhat 6.2 system, but
if you want statically linked ones, you may want to copy
libc.a from a real redhat 6.2 system just to make sure I
didn't miss any important glibc patches.
