 Hello,

 it would be really helpful, if there were binary packages to install the
 32-Bit cross-compiler (gcc-x86) on the 64-Bit (x64) Haiku platform via
 `pkgman`, so that software developers can easily build 32-Bit binaries on
 the 64-Bit system and don't have to keep a separate 32-Bit system around.

 On Linux systems (e.g. Debian), we can simply install package "crossbuild-
 essential-i386" on the x64 system, via APT package manager, in order to
 get the fully working `i686-linux-gnu-gcc` cross-compiler.

 TTBOMK, on Haiku, the only way to get the `gcc-x86` corss-compiler on the
 64-Bit system is by checking out "buildtools" from the Git and building it
 with the following command:

 ./configure --cross-tools-source ../buildtools --build-cross-tools x86

 ...but this takes several hours to complete. And, even more important, it
 ends up with a compiler that is missing the required header files and
 libraries - not very useful. Only way to get the compiler working for me
 was by copying the header files and libraries over from a 32-Bit Haiku
 system **and** manually setting the `--sysroot` when calling the compiler.
 I think that this is quite "hacky" and cumbersome.

 So, again, a "gcc-x86" package that works 'out-of-the-box' would be much
 appreciated :-)

 Thank you!
