Bug Description

Dear Canonical.

We would like to have arm-linux-gnueabi target on ppc64el cross toolchain. This would enable us to use a ppc64el host to do cross compilation for aarch64.

I talked to Matthias Klose already, and he is aware of this request.

Thank you,
Breno

Also, please enable the arm-linux-gnueabi target also, in fact, this is more important than aarch64.

please could you clarify? Do you really mean armel / arm-linux-gnueabi?

Yes. arm-linux-gnueabi is required to compile code for POWER9 BMCs.

Given the targets specified, you are asking to SRU this into bionic as well, right? or is cosmic sufficient? (to e.g. use chroots?)

Yes, if it is possible, I would like to have this available in bionic also.
