Actually there's another bug buried in those error messages that I ran
across and was going to post about.
You'll notice that it's also complaining about the inability to find
gcc-0-arm-linux-gnu. I think that's due to a bug in Tools.pm in the
find_latest_gcc() routine. I think the regular expression to extract
the gcc version from the package name isn't quite right. I show a diff
below of how I fixed it. Also, I had to hack the check_toolchains()
routine to return "true", since I have installed, and am trying to use,
a gcc-3.4 toolchain (for compatibility with a 2.4 kernel), and the
check_toolchains() routine won't let me get away with that, since for
'testing' suite, the latest toolchain is gcc-4.1. I was thinking a way
to deal with this would be to modify the check_toolchains() routine to
accept a parameter and pass in a preferred version of a toolchain from
the cross-compile conf file, with the default being "latest", which
would cause the check_toolchain() routine to lookup the latest
toolchain. This would allow the user to get the latest toochain by
default but specify a different one if that is what they have
installed. I didn't, however, code any of that up yet as a proposed
patch. Does anybody think that would be a good idea?

Need to install an emdebian toolchain to build 'arm' on 'i386'.
due to neither .dpkg-cross nor apt.conf-testing existing.
I reckon the former should be fixed by something like :
--- Tools.pm~ 2007-01-30 00:06:40.000000000 +0000
+++ Tools.pm 2007-02-01 02:51:00.000000000 +0000

}
But I'm not quite sure where in that lot the creation of
apt-conf.testing should be done, and my brain has shut down 'cos it's
late. Somewhere round get_suite() when it determines the default suite
using check_dist?
