I found only one cross-compiler in repos -- arm-none-eabi-gcc-cs
But it doesn't work:
This package is compiled in bootstrap mode and used only to solve circular

work.
I've used that package a lot for cross-development for ARM targets, especially Cortex-M3 microcontrollers. It's intended for bare-metal targets, not targets running Linux. I've never had any problem with it that has anything to do with "bootstrap mode". In fact, for a cross-compiler, "bootstrap mode" is the only mode there is, because the normal bootstrapping process for a native compiler (build new compiler using old compiler, then build new compiler using new compiler) is completely inapplicable.
