I agree with Nicolas' proposal to deliver a cross-compiler. A lot of people request this

On the other hand, the cross toolchain packages are likely to be of interest to such visitors, but aren't obviously advertised -- maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but if so then new visitors to the linaro pages are likely to look in the wrong place too.
Would it make sense to explain the situation more prominently so that visitors know what to expect?
I would think so.
Something along the lines of "if you use distro x revision y, these cross-compiler packages are available" and "if you need the tools for some other environment, you need to download the source and build it for yourself".
Building a cross-compiler is already a challenge in itself. Would be better to build a version that can be installed anywhere like the CodeSourcery releases and offer that as a tar download.
