The full opensuse distribution also has a couple of spec files for generating cross compilers from recent versions. These are for icecream, but can be relatively easily adapted (or the binaries reused) In general I don't think building cross compilers is as hard as it used to be, so it can be reasonably done without any support scripts too. Really no excuse to still use the old crosstool crap :) -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com
