it seems like it is reasonable to look at global customs to decide what should be considered cruel or unusual punishment.

This is another ditch to avoid. If "radical" Islam becomes the majority of the world...does it become "normal" to shoot women in the head publically for not being faithful? Or stone folks to death? What about countries where it is NOW normal for thieves to have their hands chopped off? Should we consider that?

We(our Founders, THIS country) fought for independence for many reasons and against more than one enemy to get away from bad law then. Why should we even glance at their law(or lack of it) now?
