It's not supported, and It's not likely ever to happen. To do a cross-compile for PowerPC on an Intel box would require removing _every_ Intel binary library from the Fink tree, and then rebuilding every package for PowerPC. Not to mention that the low level binary package handler, dpkg, is only capable of coping with a single architecture. Maybe one could use a PowerPC and an Intel box, install identical package sets, and then manually generate universal binaries from the two fink trees. -- Alexander K.
