Cross-compilation toolchains in etch

Here is the grid that shows what cross toolchains can be built from etch toolchain sources.

The tools are as follows:

package

version

binutils

2.17-1

linux-kernel-headers

2.6.17.3-1

glibc

2.3.6-15

gcc-4.1

4.1.1-5

To get most of the compilers, I used native debian packages installed via dpkg-cross (libc6/libc6-dev and linux-kernel-headers). The short summary is that cross gcc successfully builds for 6 out of 10 architectures (officially supported in etch). Binutils scores 10 out of 10. The rest can be taken from native etch builds.

arm

powerpc

mips

mipsel

m68k

sparc

hppa

s390

amd64

ia64
