Hello All, I was able to build a GCC 4.9 cross compiler using a generic cross compiler script I found on github:
https://gist.github.com/preshing/41d5c7248dea16238b60 If I find some time, I'll create a crossgcc.py from it. Suggestions for the naming scheme of the resulting module are welcome. So far, easybuild works without any problems on BGQ. I've been able to build quite a few packages with it on FERMI (cineca machine in Italy), only for use on the login nodes for the moment.
