Hi In the 30 April Extremadura-meeting newsletter http://www.emdebian.org/News/2006/20060430.html Simon Richter writes: ------- One thing that numerous people expressed a desire for was to have a set of cross-toolchains in debian main itself so that people could simply apt-get them. ... having all possible cross-compilers built is clearly silly ...

I've just done something in this line: crosstool is able to build just about cross-everything (see the "build matrix" under kegel.com/crosstool), and I've hacked together a couple of scripts using alien to bundle up its output into installable binary debian packages. They're a bit rough at present and linda/lintian don't like them, but the end result works and it might do as a starting point if someone feels like fixing various warts (see linda/lintian output). However, going from this point to a proper Debian source package is impossible because crosstool cannot be packaged and so cannot be a build dependency, but it's better than nothing.
