For now, I'm removing the patches. I am keeping them around, but they do need quite a bit of cleaning up to be policy-compliant. As it stands, I have several outstanding serious bugs against binutils and didn't want that cleanup to hold up the package uploads for the next few weeks. > Given how easy it is to build a debian package, I don't see much > need for the maintainer to build N cross-compiling packages -- it > also means that you're only likely to build the popular cross > binutils, not, e.g, powerpc->i386. I agree :-) What we eventually want is a way to build them using the same source but using maybe a helper package to do so. Having cross-compilers already-built in debian is the ultimate goal, but building all of them at once is obviously not the way to accomplish this. C
