Bug Description
Binary package hint: gcc-4.4
Hi there
I tested gcc-4.4-
In the past, emdebian style cross-compiler packages had -gcc symlinks.
I think there are two needs for the cross-packages:
a) take this gcc-ish package and give me a fully functional cross-compiler from it (runtime libs, -gcc and stuff)
b) take all these gcc-4.x source packages from Ubuntu and make them cross-compiler packages has to have the same set in cross-compilers as Ubuntu has
a) is basically "standalone"
b) is rather "use the same approach as Ubuntu"
b), we'd need a gcc-defaults package to be consistent
It's not urgent to support the b) case, but we need some package providing $triplet-gcc for the cross-compiler packages to be useful.
Thanks,

Let's keep this bug to track a), as to restore prior functionality (emdebian-style packages used to provide the symlink along the cross-binary).
