Package: gcc-4.3
Version: 4.3.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I'm trying to build a cross-compiler for i486-linux-gnu for amd64
Debian and it fails. I know, I know, there is gcc -m32. But I need to
test cross-compiling and I don't have an arm cpu to test with.

I followed the instructions on http://emdebian.org/tools/crossdev.html

export GCC_TARGET=i386
debian/rules control
dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot

The problem comes when building a 64bit libgcc:

The problem is that there is no 64bit libc in /usr/i486-linux-gnu/lib/.
I linked /usr/i486-linux-gnu/lib64 -> ../lib64 so there is an
/usr/i486-linux-gnu/lib64/libc.so that it should use. But the command
line specifically says -B/usr/i486-linux-gnu/lib/.

It looks to me like building a cross-compiler is incompatible with
multilib.

I had the same problem. Further considering that I simply don't need to
use the i486-linux-gnu compiler to build binaries for x86_64-linux-gnu
(I can use the native compiler for that). Thus I disabled lib64 support
of the cross compiler by setting this environment variable:
> DEB_CROSS_NO_BIARCH=yes

PS I documented the build process a bit more thoroughly on my blog [1].
