Hello Hector,

Thanks a lot for the reply!  Probably your diagnosis is not
correct, because I have libgcc1 package installed:

$ LANG=C apt-cache policy libgcc1 |grep "Installed:"
  Installed: 1:3.4.3-13sarge1

However, you're right that it's a problem with Build-Depends:

$ LANG=C GCC_TARGET=amd64 dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is gcc-3.4
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 3.4.3-13sarge1
dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Martin Schulze <joey@infodrom.org>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: binutils-x86_64-linux (>= 2.15-5)
dpkg-buildpackage: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.
dpkg-buildpackage: (Use -d flag to override.)

but rather it's not a reason of the building fail.  If I'm wrong,
please correct me.

Of course, I'll let you know if I build my cross gcc-3.4 package
successfully.

Have a nice day,

Pawel
