That is an error. It should depend on gcc-$vers-base-arm-cross but the problme is that the build instructions omit a crucial environment variable so that the base package is not built when it should.

I have no trouble installing gcc-4.1, but i do have trouble
installing gcc-4.2 because of that dependency.

That is the reverse too - gcc-4.1 won't install cleanly because depending on the non-cross version of base means that updates to 4.1 cannot be installed without removing the cross built packages which depend on native base, not cross base. This is a "build independence" problem that was causing packages to be held back but the build instructions for gcc-4.1 need updating to add a command:

export DEB_CROSS_INDEPENDENT=yes

before building gcc.
