What do you think about starting small (e.g. generating a mesh of FC x FC compilers)? Starting with an FC target would mean that we could use packages we know already work in the Fedora framework. It would just be a matter of making a specfile (or series of specfiles) that are cross-friendly to build and package gcc, binutils, glibc and gdb. I've done that a few times and while it's not exactly pretty, it's doable. We could generate x86, x86_64, and PPC hosted toolchains for x86, x86_64 and PPC and then be able to build say PPC packages from an x86_64 (the immediate benefactor would probably be the build system). Of course after getting the toolchains packaged, it's a matter of asking the maintainers to keep their specfiles cross friendly, but if they'll take patches, we can clean that up.It is way more than just keeping their specfiles cross friendly. Most larger projects, like Xorg, are a bitch to crosscompile, and almost all need a lot of tuning before even './configure' works. The ones without configure will probably even more work to get obscure Makefiles to docross compiling.The cross compiler part is less than 0.1% of the problem. - Erwin
