Sometimes you might want to simulate a machine and you don't have a real machine to compile binaries on. In this case a cross compiler can help. There are various different sources for cross compilers. This is roughly in recommended order:

  1. Some architectures have professionally build cross-compilers available from Code Sourcery. These are updated frequently and a good starting point: ARM, MIPS
  2. You can build your own cross compiler using crosstools-ng: Download it from here and follow the instructions on the page.
  3. We have some available on our Download page.
