There's no technical limitation, although I haven't tried such cross-builds. I limited the architectures following a comment on the gcc-mingw-w64 ITP (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602997#14 and my reply just below that), although Matthias was perhaps more concerned with excessive build times on some architectures. So kfreebsd-amd64, powerpc etc. would probably make sense - I'll check the gcc build times on the various architectures. Regards, Stephen
