I don't know which cross compilation environment you mean (Joel?), but the gnu cross compilers are "cheap" cross compilers. They don't contain a full gcc binary, but use the native compiler together with a specs file, some symlinks to the native compiler gcc-lib tree and a wrapper script. The source package contains "make-cross" by Gordon Matzigkeit. because we can use the native compiler to cross compile for the Hurd, the package is very small and the compiler works reliable.
