I would like to see the intelligence embodied in your script built
into gcc. I think it would be good, as then more people would do up
up cross compilation systems for systems they don't have, which gains
them the ability to produce binaries for machines they don't have
(useful). Also, bootstrapping then becomes easier on machines without
compilers, as all you need is one machine with any C compiler to
bootstrap up to all machines will all (GNU) compilers.
The good news is that quite a lot of the requisite intelligence is
already in gcc, it would be good at get this last bit in... so that
the next person to do it, has to just supply some information, and
type make (opps, I mean configure; make).
If you have the time and desire, would love to see the work folded in.
