I'm building a package for Ubuntu. Probably NOT going
to use the regular system gcc-4.0 package*, but just
something with C/C++/D and the "vanilla" tarballs ?

Basically just configure as i486-linux-gnu-gcc-4.0
or powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.0, and then package it
up with all required debian/ files and information ?

Installing from the official GDC tarballs or building
it locally should also work OK in the meantime, though.
Or you can convert an RPM package using "alien" tool ?

Not sure how the GDC-in-Debian-GCC lobbying is going...
