You can build cross-compiling gcc packages targetted for any Debian
architecture by reading /usr/share/doc/gcc-2.95/README.cross
and editing a few lines in debian/rules.defs.  However, don't
do this with 2.95.4.ds7-0.011223, as cross compiling is broken.
I have patches, but I'm working on making it build for any
non-Linux target.

You'll also need cross-compiling binutils packages, which I'm
also working on.
