Hi Norayr,

do you desire gm2 as a cross compiler or native compiler for ARM ?
You should be able to build gm2 on an ARM host fairly simply.

$ apt-get source gm2
$ cd gm2-1.0.2*
$ pdebuild --configfile ~/.pbuilderrc --buildsourceroot fakeroot \
  --pbuilderroot sudo --buildresult /usr/local/src/results

assuming that the pbuilder infrastructure has been set up:

   http://www.nongnu.org/gm2/creating_packages.html

creating a cross compiler will likely be more problematic.
This is on my to do list...

Gaius
