In the early days of Linux on Alpha, I had a cross-compiler that was i386->alpha, but it was really brain-damaged (the 32->64 bit issues were horrid). Once we abandoned that, there was no going back. I'm guessing that it'll be the same once IA64 comes out. I'm sure that would horribly complicate the issue of cross-compilers if we choose to do something like that... C
