Hi,

I am looking into this and I am afraid I am not seeing it right. How do I=
 =20
get a compiler running on amd64, but compiling for ARM? The stock FreeBSD=
 =20
gcc doesn't do this and I don't see a port which would do this except =20
gnatdroid-armv5 which is specifically for android.
Where is a 'regular' armv5-gcc version?

Ronald.
