Re: Pb cross-compilation with GCC-4.1

If you try to build a cross compiler:
$ GCC_TARGET=powerpc DEB_CROSS=yes fakeroot debian/rules control
$ GCC_TARGET=powerpc DEB_CROSS=yes dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -B -rfakeroot

At www.emdebian.org you already have binary cross-compilers for
Debian, you even have an amd64 to i486. Also for those arches gcc
should support -m32 and -m64 on native toolchain.

If you try to build some package/code with the cross compiler, then i
would not be so sure, but probably it is a missing library. For such
cases, try to ask to debian-embedded list.

Cheers
