What about cross-toolchain project at alioth? I am working on getting my
Ubuntu cross toolchains working in Debian:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/cross-toolchain.git;a=summary
They build, they work. Status is on wiki page:
https://wiki.linaro.org/MarcinJuszkiewicz/Projects/MergeCrossToolchainIntoDebian
I do not provide packages for Debian but if someone wants I can share
results of my recent builds.
