Some time ago I tried to integrate win32 in Debian using the
dpkg-cross framework, which seems to be based on the same ideas
as Gentoo's crossdev.

However, I had to drop that time sink and created a specialized
build system for win32 cross compiling instead. That was the only
thing that really worked and that was able to grow.

If you are interested in the issues I stumbled across in my
previous attempts, you might want to read the following thread
on the Debian-embedded [1] list:

You might be especially interested in the following posting:

[1] Debian-embedded is the unofficial "Debian cross-compiling list",
    i.e. where all the cross compiling people of the Debian project
    are hanging around.
