True...toolchain package maintainers tend to be quite active, though :-)

Ok, great. I'm actually about to start work on a binutils-cross
package. I'm still not sure if I want to generate cross-compilers for
just about every port that we support (which would take forever to
build) or make it so that the developer compiling it can select the target
easily and build a cross-assembler from there. I'll decide soon, but
suggestions are welcome. So far, I'm leaning towards generating
cross-assemblers for the embedded targets that we're starting to support
(AVR, SuperH, etc).
