Hi, I've been wondering, what happened to all of this? I've seen another Thorsten email a while later proposing to merge those changes but looking at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gcc-4.6 it would seem that all of this effort is gone? Or is this mint cross compiler accessible in debian somehow? (except adding Vincent's PPA of course).
