I'd say the "2.3" refers to the libc version

# dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile
scratchbox-toolchain-arm-linux-ct401-2.3_1.0.4_i386.deb | tar t | grep
libc.so
./scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-ct401-2.3/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libc.so
./scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-ct401-2.3/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libc.so_orig
./scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-ct401-2.3/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libc.so.6

I've got a different CPU but that should not matter that much.

I'd don't think that there's a substitute for trying things out, so
following [1] while using the toolchain I've recommended seems like your
best bet. Once you've got things up and running you could always think
about "better" / custom made toolchains.
