fixes are welcome, however this schema building cross compilers was
dropped for our 3.0 packages, because it doesn't work well on slow
platforms ... a bootstrap on m68k needs more than two days ...

you may want to look at the toolchain-source package. The idea is,
that a specific cross compiler "source-depends" on this package and
builds one cross compiler. However the package is not up to date
(gcc-3.0, old binutils).
