So right now there's a binutils for armhf in debian jessie: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf However the "gcc" cross compiler is still stuck in sid: https://packages.debian.org/sid/cpp-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf So once that migrates to jessie (if it migrates) you'll have matching armhf cross gcc/binutils/libs that can used to cross build projects for the bbb running jessie.
