Bug#779322: cross-gcc-dev: Please provide i386 packages

[Domovoy <domovoy@errlock.org>]

Package: cross-gcc-dev
Version: 13
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I wanted crossbuild-essential-armhf on an i386 machine.

apt-get install crossbuild-essential-armhf

Won't work, the package is only available for amd64

So i built cross-gcc-4.9-armhf-11:

apt-get source cross-gcc-4.9-armhf
sed -i 's/amd64/& i386/' cross-gcc-4.9-armhf-11/debian/control
cd cross-gcc-4.9-armhf-11 && dpkg-buildpackage
dpkg -i ...

The built worked, and i now have the toolchain installed.

Thanks for the good work, and the particularly good help on irc.
