for gcc-2.95.3, building cross compilers should work ok. You need to
set the TARGET in the rules files and you are done. You may want to
contact Steve for further information. The patch for the rules file
comes from the Emdebian project. Cross compilers are built together
with the native compiler, so it becomes a problem if you want to build
many cross compilers.
For gcc-3.0, I took another approach. Set the GCC_TARGET env var and
the appropriate cross compiler should be built... in theory. If you
want to work on it, please do.

In the source you find a (short) README.cross.
