Multiarch should support this and dpkg-architecture already does. So if someone wants to maintain toolchains to do this then adding an entry to cross-build-essential is easy. (We didn't put everything possible supported by dpkg in, because that would be 271 packages :-) Does it actually need a conventional cross-toolchain or is it like the amd64/i386 case where a chroot and a personality is all that is needed? I admit that I haven't thought about the issues for this particular case in any detail. Is there actually a demand for being able to do this?
