Hi!

Why you think this?
I guess, because there is currently no sample existing for this combination.

You can see, it is possible to build such a compiler.

CT-NG is a very intelligent script collection, which builds any cross compiler
you want. The only thing you need to do is configuring it according to you
needs. Generally spoken, if GCC supports it, CT-NG can build it. But there
is also the libc, which needs to support your combination. And sometimes there
are really problems and this is why we have patches for all the different
tools you need to build a cross compiler.

Sorry, I can't help you here.
Maybe you can find a build script for your specific compiler and use it as a
pattern to configure CT-NG or simply try it on yourself. Once you have it, it
would be nice if you could contribute your configuration as new sample.
