See dpkg-architecture(1), which I wrote, also see dpkg-cross.
However, every package needs to be treated individually, there is no
king road to cross compilation. See glibc for a package which does it well
(without dpkg-cross even).
Some bug reports I did file to get cross compilation working, but I stopped
persuing this for a while.

Note that gcc is very special, as it wants to compile itself.
