It would. Currently you can use distro cross-toolchains (from Ubuntu, and Debian soon if I get my finger out). Which 'just work, but are not as cutting-edge as the linaro ones.
I started work on wrapping the linaro binary releases into (fake) debs so that they were easy to install with bits in the right place, but it wasn't working quite right when I got sidetracked, so that's still a 'would be nice'.
I still haven't determined to my satisfaction whether the linaro binary (cross) toolchains can be used for multiarch cross-building by just moving files about/symlinking and fiddling with configs or if in fact a rebuild is necessary. I can think of good reasons why it could go either way. Does anyone else know for sure?
Wookey
