All major linux distributions are going to use gcc 4.0 for their next release, this includes at least debian, fedora core and ubuntu that i know of, and some of them have a release goal of a few month away only. I suppose suse is also in this group, so i have some doubts about your comments concerning the maturity of gcc 4.0. Also, about cross compilers, i wonder if you know of dan kegel's crosstool project, and if so, if you managed to get it to run on whatever you use as build host (x86/solaris i suppose) ? I built a x86 (actually a 32bit chroot on a amd64 box) linux to powerpc cross compiler with it, with binutils 2.16.1, gcc 4.0.1 and glibc 2.3.5 (altough you probably don't need this latest one).
