This all sound specific, as also mentioned in another mail in this
thread I would like to start a cross-compile SIG to get all this
organised and to help each other with open issues and reviews.

So far I know of the following people being interested:

Hans de Goede   (avr-gcc, arm-linux-gp2x-gcc)
Kevin Kofler    (tigcc)
Ralf Corsepius  (rtems)
Trond Danielsen (sdcc, avr-gcc, avr32-gcc, Analog Devices Blackfin)

So assuming all named people are reading this, who's in? I'am in myself
ofcourse and (see below) I believe Trond is in too.

I think tigcc would be a great addition, so any chance you could start
posting somewhat cleaned up specs for review, starting with the most
basic components first?

If you encounter any problems you cannot solve yourself, please contant
me / us, I've got lots of packaging experience, perhaps I can help.

Regards,

Hans
