This definitely seems to be my central problem:

 libstdc++5-3.3-dev-armeb-cross depends on g++-3.3-armeb-dcv1; however:
  Package g++-3.3-armeb-dcv1 is not installed.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the cross-compilation code in the Debian 
gcc-3.3 package has been upgraded to put "provides: *-dcv1" in the things that 
it builds?

Is there a requirement that I must use a recent compiler version, for 
compatability with dpkg-cross?  (If there is, could perhaps dpkg-cross itself 
confict with gcc-3.3?)

Thanks,

Phil.
