A variety of nasty hacks, half working solutions which work some of the
time for some combinations of source and destination with some compiler
versions.
My suggestion is to use dpkg-cross to get appropriate libraries and
point to the place it installs them, perhaps even make the dpkg-cross
installed packages included in the build dependencies.
(Anyone know of an apt-get hack for dpkg-cross so it can get and install
all dependents in the cross chain?)

Personally I'd prefer that the name is passed-as-is to the gcc/binutils
configures; because I normally know what to give those to get what I
want. I'd agree with adding the -linux in if it was for everything,
but since this package has the ability to build for things Linux won't
run on (e.g. AVR - anyone fancy a small port....) I'd rather not do it
conditionally.
