linux-next is built on powerpc so I needed to rebuild many of the compilers for
intel.

While I was there I "updated to 4.3.3 and a 4.4.0 snapshot (20090216).

I've placed (well am placing):

x86_64 host, gcc 4.3.3, binutils 2.19.1:
alpha-linux
arm-linux
avr-linux
cris-linux
hppa64-linux
hppa-linux
i386-linux
m68k-linux
mipsel-linux
mips-linux
powerpc-linux
s390x-linux
sparc-linux
xtensa-linux

x86_64 host, gcc 4.4.0-20090216, binutils 2.19.1:
alpha-linux
arm-linux
avr-linux
cris-linux
hppa64-linux
i386-linux
m68k-linux
powerpc-linux
s390x-linux
sparc-linux

I haven't succeeded in builting a ia64 compiler, but I'll keep trying.

The i386,powerpc and sparc compilers are biarch and seem to build the 32/64
kernels appropriately.

I'm building i386 hosted compiiler ATM and I'll uplaod them when done.

Looking at the 4.3.3 compilers, asside from ia64 what arches are missing?

These should all be relocatable, in that you can wack them anywhere (/opt/cross
for me) and set your CROSS_COMPILE var and go.

For what it's worth these compilers were built with something derrived from
the buildall scripts by Segher (http://git.infradead.org/users/segher/buildall.git)

Thanks Segher!

Yours Tony
