Well, when you have an native compiler, you usually dont have the
host-triplet...

the m5475-atari-mint cross compiler for linux is available here:

http://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/toolchains/

The multilib feature is not ripped out... it just has an different 
name, AFAIK.
But of course you can inst. the m68k-atari-toolchain parallel,
and put all coldfire libs to /usr/m5475-atari-mint/lib then. (instead 
of /usr/m5475-atari-mint/lib/m5475) - this is a requirement of many 
build-tools (like configure, pkgconfig, libtool) - as long as you are 
not willing to override defaults.

for sure this can make cross compiling a bit more comfortable, but you 
still have to
pass -mcpu=5475 into the CFLAGS.

Also it conflicts with the concept of mint's toolchain - at least when 
you want to
provide packages (like rpm) which can be compiled with the native 
freemint gcc.

Because the native gcc for freemint wants to have coldfire libs under
/usr/lib/m5475.

The netsurf guys think that this is all wrong & fck'd up... (they say 
the mint-gcc compiler should compile compatible code for m68k AND 
coldfire as default, just like AHCC can do)...

But this isn't the Philosophy of the freemint community AFAIK where we 
want optimized
executables every time...

Greets,
