In the installation guide, there are instructions on how to build a 
'cross-compiler', which is what you want.

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/

GUYS, HELP.  I can't find the CrossGCC faq.  When I go to 
http://www.sthoward.com/CrossGCC/, I get the message:

The CrossGCC home page, FAQ and mailing list are now managed by Bill Gatliff. 
Please refer to his web site:

http://www.billgatliff.com/

When I go to that website, I find no reference to the CrossGCC FAQ.

Here's the best I could find:

I also found some references to a CrossGCC mailing list:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/

And for you, David, probably this might be useful:

(quote:)This can build many cross compilers already. Perhaps what you need can 
be solved by this.  Dan is a regular on the CrossGCC mailing list.
