Hello,

  While ``binary-cross`` target exists for historical reason on deciding which 
way to go for cross tools:
  1) ``binary-cross`` make target
  2) environment variables (as gcc does) DEB_CROSS=yes
  It would also be great to set a common way to build all cross packages, as 
binutils uses TARGET= and gcc uses GCC_TARGET= 

  When posible it would be great to keep old way to do things, for
backwards compatibility, and not just remove features and add new ones.

  Justin, thanks very much for the update, I attach a patch for updating
documentation.

  Please notice I have uploaded to Debian/experimental ``buildcross``
tool which aims to get cross built toolchains. It should be very easy
know try to built a full set for all arches. So, please, submit
bugs/patches to ``buildcross`` when updating cross builds.

  Thanks again. :-)
