Bug#666743: draft implementation for a Multi-Arch: foreign interface to gcc
As addition to the feedback given on irc,
- please complete the patch to cover all frontends. while these
might not be necessary for your bootstrap effort, I'd like to
have all frontends be covered in an uniform way.
- as the first step, please don't build any -for-host and -for-build
packages yet.
- for testing:
- the native build should succeed without disabling any packages.
- I don't see much value in doing a non-dfsg build, just make sure
that the new triplet packages still suggest the non-triplet doc
packages.
- please test a cross build, with CROSS_ARCHS set to amd64, one
multilib arch, and one non-multilib arch (you can inject
packaging changes into the gcc-8-cross package without
generating a gcc-8-source first).
- gcc-snapshot testing is not needed. at some point we might
want to have the triplet prefixed binaries there as well.
- Please make the testing public, e.g.
https://launchpad.net/~gcc-for-host/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
Any other build service is fine as well.
Thanks, Matthias
