Ok, so Debian has a tool to build cross compilers: see http://people.debian.org/~debacle/cross.html . I don't know if anyone tried it but wrong it goes (when installing libc): dionysos:/usr/src# tpkg-install-libc sparc-linux libc6-dev_2.2.5-11.2_i386.deb libc6_2.2.5-11.2_i386.deb libc6_2.3.1-14_i386.deb libc6-dev_2.3.1-16_i386.deb libc6_2.2.5-6_i386.deb libc6_2.3.1-16_i386.deb dionysos:/usr/src# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc dionysos:/usr/src# tpkg-install-libc sparc-linux --16:42:45-- ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-sparc/Packages.gz => `/tmp/packageset.gz' Resolving ftp.uk.debian.org... done.
