Package: gcc-4.6 Version: 4.6.3-1 Severity: wishlist Dear gcc maintainers, Motivation ~~~~~~~~~~ I would like to install ghc:i386 and gcc:amd64. Currently this is not possible, because ghc depends on gcc and gcc is not multiarch:foreign (which is correct of course). So can this work at all? I believe yes. What ghc:i386 really wants is a C compiler producing i386 binaries and such a compiler exists (gcc -m32). Solution ~~~~~~~~ The gcc -m32 syntax is in no way generic (like /lib32 wasn't), but there exists a generic syntax employing architecture triplets. For instance gcc can be invoked as x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc on amd64. Other flavours such as x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc (gcc-mingw-w64) already exist. It would only be natural to provide i386-linux-gnu-gcc (on amd64) as well. There would have to be a multiarch:foreign package that can be depended upon (maybe called gcc-i386?). With n architectures this would result in n^2 binary packages (one for each host and target architecture combination). ghc:$host would have to switch its dependency to gcc-$host. In addition this change should make cross compilation radically easier. I am aware that this task is huge. Is this feature worth the effort? Is the drafted solution applicable? Are there other prerequisites needed before changes to the gcc packages can be done? Thanks for considering Helmut
