You can get pre-built cross-toolchains from various places
(partial list (now no doubt somewhat out of date) here:
http://www.aleph1.co.uk/armlinux/book/x1768.html )
or you can build your own - docs here:
http://www.armlinux.org/docs/toolchain/
But it's much easier to use the emdebian one which is debian-friendly and nicely
laid out. It's certainly my favourite.
details here:
http://www.emdebian.org/crossdev.html
essentially add:
deb http://emdebian.sourceforge.net/emdebian unstable main
to your /etc/apt/sources.list
then
apt-get update
apt-get install task-cross-arm
This will get put in debian-proper at some point, once someone gets
enthised enough to do it.
