Isn't it good idea to research first before rising discussion? Just
raising discussion without referring to any previous discussion about
a subject is very counterproductive, as it inevitably leads to
reitarating all the same arguments that where discussed last time.

Try groups.google.com and keywords "autobuilder" "crosscompile" for 
a starter. Executive summary:

If you want to be productive, how about setting a buildd and trying to
crosscompile the distribution and then post statsistics of
failed/succeeded crosscompilings?
