Download the pre-built toolchain from here:
http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.7/toolchain/

eg: armv7 toolchain for an x86_64 host machine  -

# wget http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.7/toolchain/x86_64/poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-armv7a-vfp-neon-toolchain-1.7.sh
# sudo sh poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-armv7a-vfp-neon-toolchain-1.7.sh
# source /opt/poky/1.7/environment-setup-armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

# arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc hello.c
