You did not state if you want to use the full MMU-based Linux.

If yes you in fact need to build the complete Toolchain from scartch. And of course you should provide your work to Hippo, the current maintainer of the NIOS uCLinux distribution, as he of course wants to move to a non-binary distribution ASAP.

If you don't want to use the MMU, I don't see what might be wrong with the procedure described in the Wiki. Here you use git to get the newest source code of all tool chain utilities and you can use the make script provided to build the tool chain. There is no sense in creating another version of the tool chain than that one.
