Cross-binutils debian packages are directly built from the binutils
source package together with the native binutils packages.

To build a cross-binutils package which is not yet built:

 o Download and unpack the binutils source package:

    apt-get source binutils

 o Ensure you have the binutils build-dependencies installed:

    apt-get build-dep binutils

 o Then build the cross-binutils package:
   
    TARGET=<your-target> dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us 
    or 
    echo arm >debian/target; dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us

   (substitute your target name, e.g. "arm" or "m68k", instead of
    "<your-target>")
