cross-gcc-4.9-armhf doesn't get built by the buildd network, see
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=cross-gcc-4.9-armhf
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=cross-gcc-4.9-armhf&arc
h=i386
The package also cannot migrate to testing as cross-arch binary
dependencies are not supported by britney, see [1]. If I recall
correctly, britney doesn't ensure that build-deps can be satisfied (a
missing feature).
