Whiteboard

Much of this is probably already covered by Marcin or Ubuntu itself. Ken, please contact Marcin and see what he's doing then add work items for anything else.

Goals:
 * Have native and cross compilers
 * Have native and cross versions of GDB and GDB server
 * Have a PPA or similar with:
  * Latest Ubuntu GCC for Oneiric, last release (Natty), and LTS (Lucid)
  * Latest Linaro GCC for Oneiric, last release (Natty), and LTS (Lucid)

The Linaro GCC should be installable alongside the host GCC so that it can be experimented with.
