Not unless someone is willing to maintain them :-) Seriously, though, I
stopped producing cross-assemblers from the binutils package because they
caused unduly long build times on slower architectures with minimal gain
(it was unknown just how many people used those packages, especially since
I've only gotten about five questions about their disappearance to date).
The toolchain-source package has been created for those wishing to package
a cross-compiler or cross-assembler for whatever reason. The -avr
cross-compiler source packages should provide a good basis for packaging
your own for those architectures.
