Well there are these documents:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/MinGW
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchCross
http://wiki.debian.org/multiarch
http://lackof.org/taggart/hacking/multiarch/
I'm going to start to draft how our packaging policy will look like
and where we are going to stick our toolchain. And obviously i will be
asking questions a long the way about specific points of where do we
want what installed. Currently I like fedora packaging guidelines, but
without sys-root. I'm still not to sure where to stick compiled native
apps. E.g. after I compile gedit using mingw-w64 toolchain, how it's
debian package should look like? =) similarly for the cross-compiled
-dev packages.
