Bug Description

Binary package hint: gcc-4.4

Hi

I tested gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi 4.4.4-6ubuntu5~ppa2 and it has no $triplet-gcc symlink.

In the past, emdebian style cross-compiler packages had -gcc symlinks.

I think there are two needs for the cross-packages:
a) take this gcc-ish package and give me a fully functional cross-compiler from it (runtime libs, -gcc and stuff)
b) take all these gcc-4.x source packages from Ubuntu and make them cross-compiler packages has to have the same set in cross-compilers as Ubuntu has

a) is basically "standalone"
b) is rather "use the same approach as Ubuntu"
b), we'd need a gcc-defaults package to be consistent

It's not urgent to support the b) case, but it would be useful to have a way to build cross-compilers identical to the Ubuntu compilers; that is useful for instance to carry the proper cross-runtime libs and to build packages which build-dep on gcc-4.5.

Thanks,

a few comments:
 - if this should be part of maverick, please add ubuntu-archive to the report for a FFe

 - the gcc-4.5 patch already seems to be applied (partially), or not yet uploaded?

   just there for speeding up the build?

"Architecture: i386 amd64" should take care of it - right?

Patch was not merged yet. Provided as bug #628855 - low priority, can be ignored for Maverick.

0002-add-stages-support-closes-LP-603498.patch was merged, not released as package yet.

kill-locales.diff one is only to speed up build. Do not merge it.
