I just testd the following in debian/rules to get LFS support:

LFS_GCC := $(shell getconf LFS_CFLAGS)
LFS_LD := $(shell getconf LFS_LDFLAGS)

DEB_BUILD_ARCH ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH)
GCC_44_ARCHES := armel
RELAX_ARCHES := alpha

ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),$(GCC_44_ARCHES)))
    export CC=gcc-4.4 $(LFS_GCC)
    export CXX=g++-4.4 $(LFS_GCC)
else
    export CC=gcc $(LFS_GCC)
    export CXX=g++ $(LFS_GCC)
endif

ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),$(RELAX_ARCHES)))
    export LDFLAGS=-Wl,--no-relax $(LFS_LD)
else
    export LDFLAGS=$(LFS_LD)
endif

The build on i386 still runs. Even if we upload that to Debian we
should upload to experimental.
