The people who are most likely to be doing this now are Linaro.

Later versions of gcc probably have other fixes which would cause the reverse cross build to fail, not due to the failure of the original patches but due to changes in gcc itself.
the gcc-4.4 packaging is able to build a reverse cross. I didn't check gcc-4.5 and gcc-4.6.

Oops, sorry Matthias - that was meant to be "later versions of gcc *might* have other (internal) changes which could cause..." I didn't mean to infer that I'd tried and failed a reverse cross with newer versions, I haven't had time to do that test. Thanks for the info on gcc-4.4.
