In not so far future their will be an complete distribution for both
endianesses available (and even kept up to date) containing everything
you need. Debian even now has cross-binutils available for mipsel and
just a couple of mails would be required to come with cross-binutils for
mips too. Compiling a cross-compiler from the debian gcc source package
is described somewhere (Just a matter of a single line imho)
Cross-compilation is IMHO so broken when it comes to userspace
than noone really thinking of having something reusable would
consider this. It all ends beeing a really ugly hack.

Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?
