Yes. The instructions about how to do it are in:

http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/FAQ-4.html

You'll need a native GCC.

Be carefull that "FAQ-4.html" is a little bit old. The latest releases of software
are:

- binutils-2.10
- GCC-2.95.2
- newlib-1.8.2
- GDB-5

Once newlib is intented for embedded aplications, you can choose another library
in:

Please, also use the search engine at:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/

to get more informations about problems during the build process and usage of the
cross-compiler.
