[Taking this from <http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9800> to the <libc-help@sourceware.org> mailing list.] Hello!

For Linux, I'd assume that Yann E. MORIN's crosstool-NG, <http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/dokuwiki/projects/crosstool>, is what one uses these days. It's derived from Dan Kegel's crosstool, <http://kegel.com/crosstool/>. Both of them are discussed on the crossgcc mailing list, <http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/>. If you want to build a toolchain for GNU/Hurd, or for general inspiration, you're invited to have a look at my instructions at <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/building/cross-compiling.html>. > Also, for what purpose do > glibc-ports serve? It's for architectures (and the like) glibc has been ported to, but that are no longer officially supported, and thus are no longer included in the glibc proper archive. Some of them are still, more or less actively maintained. > Apologies if this was the wrong place to ask stuff like this but sending mail to > libc-ports@sourceware.org was returned by mailer daemon. libc-help is the list to use, I would assume.
