If you have Debian (use at least testing, not stable):
  - apt-get install toolchain-source
  - Follow the instructions in /usr/share/doc/toolchain-source/README

and you'll have a cross-compiler for whatever supported architecture in less
than an hour (depending on the speed of your host machine, of course).

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
