* Ada in Debian Squeeze As far as GCC is concerned, my plans are (tentatively) to: - enable support for multilib (this support is new in the Ada parts of GCC 4.4). - provide at least one cross-compiler package. The first target I will try to support is arm. Of course, any help

If this is right, I do not really see the advantage to divertion with respect to conflicting packages. The idea on divert libgcc is for cross toolchains. I work on an i386/amd64 machine and i have many ARM targets, let's say i have processors which requires floating point emulated by software

Hello Vincent, That said, I have absolutely no idea if it is possible or not to allow the user to choose its cross toolchain (but I'm sure that this would be more difficult to implement than your proposition). Yes, that is going to be very hard to do, let's think about it. Coding gcc's debian

I met Matthias Klose at FOSDEM on Saturday and he expressed the desire to talk about plans for GCC in Debian Squeeze. Unfortunately we did not have an opportunity to do so. Therefore I would like to have this discussion on this here list; if we need to have a face-to-face meeting, maybe I could

Hello Ludovic, I would be interested on making cross toolchains to build. I have already been doing some work on them. Please, just let me know what the changes you are doing with repositories or i would not mind to use yours. I just mostly submit diffs from apt sources to the bug system.
