Well.

- there are a bunch of cross-compiler binaries in
  http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/cross-compilers/

- I'll (again) encourage Ingo to add cross-compilation testing to his
  auto-testing setup. 

- I ran out of steam (and the selinux bug crashed my remote
  cross-compilation test box) so I didn't do much cross-compilation testing
  on rc8-mm1: just alpha and ia64 iirc.  

I'd suggest that you just prepare a best-effort patch and when I next get
around to doing more cross-compilation any problems shold get weeded out.
