This is very interesting, I hope to have time to look at it myself later.. [I have ARM, m68k, and ppc boards to try] I found it a *HUGE* pain to get a proper GCC/binutils/glibc/newlib cross compile setup, and I've done it 3 times now :< You might also want to provide newlib versions of everything, it would be really cool if you could share newlib/glibc gcc+binutils somehow. For instance, for what I am doing now I need to be able to compile linux kernels, compile linux applications, compile ecos and compile stand alone programs. The latter two could really benifit from newlib availability. > * Capabilities: > - C development C++ would be nice too, it is handy to use for embedded stuff. Don't necessarily need libstdc++, just the compiler. I really like how you re-used the libc6 .debs from the original sources, that is certain to eliminate any possible incompatibilities. I have regularly been cross compiling linux applications from i386 to ARM this past little while, so this is important to me :> In fact, a generic 'convert lib and lib-dev package to lib-TARGET' script like alien would be extremely usefull, and probably quite doable!
