Building a cross-compiler is already a challenge in itself. Would be better to build a version that can be installed anywhere like the CodeSourcery releases and offer that as a tar download.
Binaries that can be run anywhere are challenging. You either have to static link (and even then you need to be careful what syscalls you use), or you have to build them against some ancient libraries, and static link the less ubiquitous dependencies (such as mpfr, ppl, etc.).
Sure. But we have some evidence with the CS releases that this is reasonably possible, right?
