See dpkg-architecture(1), which I wrote, also see dpkg-cross. However, every package needs to be treated individually, there is no king road to cross compilation. See glibc for a package which does it well (without dpkg-cross even). Some bug reports I did file to get cross compilation working, but I stopped persuing this for a while. > i found that the glibc/libc6 package have allready first steps in this > directions on the other hand the gcc package is not cross-compile ready :-( Note that gcc is very special, as it wants to compile itself.
