What about cross-toolchain project at alioth? I am working on getting my Ubuntu cross toolchains working in Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/cross-toolchain.git;a=summary They build, they work. Status is on wiki page: https://wiki.linaro.org/MarcinJuszkiewicz/Projects/MergeCrossToolchainIntoDebian I do not provide packages for Debian but if someone wants I can share results of my recent builds. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-embedded-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
