Shouldn't we have some sort of coordination on debian cross-toolchain 
related works?

I've just discovered that in gcc-3.3 3.3.4-3 package, some more 
cross-compiler-related patches have been accepted from Jeff Bailey 
<jbailey@raspberryginger.com>.

It's great that different people contribute and bugs are getting fixed, I 
really appreciate bug fixes. However, I'm a bit worried that README.cross 
was patched to recommend a new tool (crosshurd) to create the build 
environment. AFAIK until this moment we preferred dpkg-cross ...

IMHO we should define a common policy, which tools we are going to use and 
why, and which debs we wish to provide and why (which host-target 
combinations, which gcc versions, which libc variants, etc), and how this 
corresponds to other build systems such as OpenEmbedded.
