fixes are welcome, however this schema building cross compilers was dropped for our 3.0 packages, because it doesn't work well on slow platforms ... a bootstrap on m68k needs more than two days ... > You'll also need cross-compiling binutils packages, which I'm > also working on. you may want to look at the toolchain-source package. The idea is, that a specific cross compiler "source-depends" on this package and builds one cross compiler. However the package is not up to date (gcc-3.0, old binutils).
