Building a crosscompiler for sparc32 using a Debian/Linux box
This is how I did it, the result can be found in the
files section.

warning: I assume the host box is a Debian/Woody box
get the needed packages
<![CDATA[apt-get install fakeroot automake1.4 dpkg-cross binutils-multiarch]]>

/etc/dpkg/cross-compile:
<![CDATA[crossbase = /usr]]>
get the toolchain source
Since the woody toolchain source is broken, we install the testing version:
<![CDATA[# cd /tmp && wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/toolchain-source/toolchain-source_3.2-8_all.deb
# dpkg -i toolchain-source_3.2-8_all.deb]]>
configure the toolchain
<![CDATA[cd /usr/src
EMAIL="someone@somedomain.com" tpkg-make sparc-linux]]>
create binutils
<![CDATA[cd binutils-sparc-linux_2.14.90.0.4
fakeroot debian/rules binary
su -c 'dpkg -i ../binutils-sparc-linux_2.14.90.0.4-1_i386.deb']]>
libc
We use a little trick with dpkg-cross:
<![CDATA[# cd /tmp
# wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.2.5-11.5_sparc.deb
# wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6-dev_2.2.5-11.5_sparc.deb
# dpkg-cross -a sparc -b libc6_2.2.5-11.5_sparc.deb
# dpkg-cross -a sparc -b libc6-dev_2.2.5-11.5_sparc.deb
# su -c "dpkg -i libc6-dev-sparc-cross_2.2.5-11.5_all.deb libc6-sparc-cross_2.2.5-11.5_all.deb"]]>
make GCC
<![CDATA[cd gcc-sparc-linux-3.2.3.cvs20030221
fakeroot debian/rules binary
su -c 'dpkg -i ../gcc-sparc-linux-3.2.3.cvs20030221-1_i386.deb']]>
and you're done
