| 9 | <ul> |
|---|
| 10 | <li><b>Cross toolchain</b> - EmDebian has been focusing on having a cross toolchain in |
|---|
| 11 | sync with Debian proper. You can view the <a |
|---|
| 12 | href="toolchains/search.php">current packages</a>, built for i386 and amd64. |
|---|
| 13 | Toolchains are available to build arm, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc and sparc for |
|---|
| 14 | gcc-3.3, gcc-3.4, gcc-4.0, gcc-4.1 and gcc-4.2. Packages are also available for gcc-4.1 |
|---|
| 15 | and gcc-4.2 to build arm on powerpc.</li> |
