...from the shameless advertising division.... It's a lot easier on Debian. You can see what has been done with Debian by visiting: http://www.cpad.pucrs.br/pub/docs/cross-compiler.pdf Or searching through the Gelato site at: http://www.gelato.org Or checking out the Debian toolchain packages that will build the whole shootin' match for you. I _think_ there's some folks there working on spec files through Gelato, too, so you might want to search their mailing lists. A quick google also turned up about 1100 hits that might be of help. You may also want to start from the spec files that Red Hat ships with their compilers. I suspect it's a lot easier to modify those than start from scratch. Sorry this doesn't answer the question directly, but I hope it helps nonetheless....
