Missing gcc-4.9-powerpc-linux-gnu on http://emdebian.org/tools/debian
Greetings!
I have been trying to dip my toes in the water here with installing
the cross toolchain for powerpc. I followed instructions here:
https://wiki.debian.org/CrossToolchains
but there seems to be some packages missing for GCC. Specifically
gcc-4.9-powerpc-linux-gnu. Here's me trying to install with apt-get (I
did add the arch to dpkg, added repo and key for emdebian.org):
root@crosstools-test:~# dpkg --add-architecture powerpc
root@crosstools-test:~# apt-get update
