[plug] Debian Cross compiling

[Timothy White]

I want to start cross compiling from AMD64 to i386. Someone said to
use linux32, but that only tricks tools into thinking they are running
on a x86 and not a x86_64.

So reading http://www.mobilab.unina.it/Resources/crosscompilerHOWTO.html
and I think I may finally be able to get it working.
But when I try and compile binutils-i386 (debuild -uc -us) it fails :(

Below is the output of the error part, if that helps anyone.[1]

Anyone know an easier way? Or want to try and help?

Thanks

Tim
