The "Build shared libraries" config option is dependant on the type of "Target OS". Moving this options to the "Target OS" sub-menu is also better in the user perspective: he/she no longer needs to go back and forth to see if he/she missed any option.
This is the README for crosstool-NG

GETTING STARTED /
_______________/

PARTICIPATING /

Sending a bug report
--------------------
If you need to send a bug report, please send a mail with subject
prefixed with "[CT_NG]" with to following destinations:
TO: yann.morin.1998 (at) anciens.enib.fr
CC: crossgcc (at) sourceware.org
Sending patches
---------------
If you want to enhance crosstool-NG, there's a to-do list in the TODO file.
Patches should come with the appropriate SoB line. A SoB line is typically
something like:
Signed-off-by: John DOE <john.doe@somewhere.net>
The SoB line is clearly described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches , section
12, of your favourite Linux kernel source tree.
Then you'll need to correctly configure Mercurial. There are two extensions
that you may find usefull:
- mq : http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MqExtension
- patchbomb : http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PatchbombExtension
Here's a typical hacking session:
hg clone http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/hg/crosstool-ng crosstool-ng
cd crosstool-ng
hg qinit
hg qnew -D -U -e my_first_patch
*edit patch description*
*hack* *hack* *check* *fails* *hack* *hack* *check* *works*
hg qref -D -e
*edit patch description, serving as commit message*
hg qnew -D -U -e my_second_patch
*edit patch description*
*hack* *hack* *check* *fails* *hack* *hack* *check* *works*
hg qref -D -e
*edit patch description, serving as commit message*
hg email --outgoing --intro \
--from '"Your Full NAME" <your.email (at) your.domain>' \
--to '"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 (at) anciens.enib.fr>' \
--cc 'crossgcc (at) sourceware.org'
*edit introductory message*
*wait for feedback*
*re-send if no answer for a few days*
Note: replace' (at) ' above with a plain '@'.
