That's great.
Perhaps you could collaborate with other people on this list
interested in packaging?

You need the compiler front end (e.g. "/usr/bin/gcc"), the compiler
itself (e.g. /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.2.3/cc1), and the spec and
configuration files that gcc uses. I'm not sure exactly which ones
are needed. Running 'gcc -v' and similar commands should show you.
I suppose they should be named something like
ia64-unknown-linxux-gcc-3.2

That should not be necessary.
I was recently building a gcc cross compiler, and it does seem to need
the target's glibc to build correctly. However, I think that once the
compiler is built you ought to be able to leave the libraries and
headers out.

Thanks for your help.
