The benefits that GNU/Linux cross-toolchains provide to Debian is greater than it would be on Fedora because most of Debian's development packages install header files and libraries into directories with multi-arch tuples, and dpkg supports installation of such packages from foreign architectures, using their package repositories. This means that the Debian cross-toolchain can use all these development packages, and Debian developers are not stuck with glibc/libstdc++ only for cross-builds.
