Making a new cross-compile target: where to begin?

2005-10-19 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi, I know that some people are working on a GCC port for Minix v3, but I'd like to work on a cross-compiler for my own purposes. I'd like the host and build to be i686-pc-linux-gnu, and the target to be i[3456]86-pc-minix3. Can anyone give me some advice on where to begin and what info I need?
