Cross-compilers for mips and mipsel are available from Emdebian, based
on Squeeze. What's missing are toolchains based on wheezy or sid.

The current toolchains necessarily depend on the packages generated by
dpkg-cross which is how we have to deal with foreign architecture
packages until we get MultiArch.

Yes, the Emdebian toolchains built on Squeeze are installable and
usable on Wheezy and Sid. There is still a need to build toolchains
based on gcc-4.6.
