Projects that are in the "maintain cross toolchains" business: * buildroot * https://github.com/richfelker/musl-cross-make But really my feeling is that we should for the moment stick to getting a reliable test setup for the architectures that Debian does provide cross toolchains for. That will give us: * much more coverage than we have at the moment * coverage for the guests that people actually care about We can always come back and think about filling in the gaps later. thanks -- PMM
