These repositories are exactly the repositories that Spenser patches
are using for the internal toolchain backend.
See:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/291045/ (binutils)
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/291046/ (gcc)
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/291047/ (glibc)

We are not avoiding Xilinx altogether at all, please look at Spenser
patches.
*However* the tarballs you're pointing at at
http://www.xilinx.com/guest_resources/gnu/ look interesting for
pre-built external toolchains. I'm currently downloading "GNU Tools for
MicroBlaze (gcc 4.6.4, gdb 7.6.0, binutils 2.23.2, newlib 1.19,
eglibc-2.18)", and I'll have a look at what it is exactly.
Thanks!
Thomas
